Neumann (J. f. O. 1904, p. 341) has described V. w. 

 dntreiceps from the Gelo River. We have no specimens 

 from that exact locality, but we can find no constant 

 distinction in birds from the Sobat River or any other 

 locality.

This we believe to be the first record of V. calva in the 

 Sudan. There seems little doubt that these two specimens 

 belong to the race described by Reichenow from the Welle. 

 With regard to the races of V. calva, we should like to draw 

 attention to the paper by Hartert and Goodson in the Nov. 

 Zool. XXV. 1918, pp. 348-354. We find that the material 

 in the Museum agrees completely with their conclusions. 

 The question of the use of Treron or Vinago as a generic 

 name is one into which we have not entered.
