We have not sufficient material to enter into the races of 

 this bird. The Brown Booby ranges throughout the 

 tropical and subtropical tseas, the form occurring on the 

 Australian coasts being referred to 6'. /. plotus (Forster) 

 by Mathews. 



Sula (Parasula) dactylatra melanops. 



Sula melanops Heuglin, Ibis, 1859, p. 351 : Somali const. 



No actual records are known to us from the Sudan, but in 

 all probability the bird occurs on the coast of the Red Sea 

 as well.

Tins specimen is an immature female of what is apparently 

 the common European Cormorant P. c. subcormoranus 

 (Brehm), but we should not like to be certain as to 

 subspecies. The only previous record we know of from the 

 Sudan is one by Brehm from Sennar.
