31. SCOTORXIS CLIMACURUS. 



Scotornis climacurus (V.); Sharpe, Hand-1. 13. ii. p. 82 

 (1900) ; Jackson, Ibis, 1902, p. 622 (Entebbe) ; Reichenow, 

 Vog. Afrikas, ii. p. 368 (1902). 



H. 975. ? ad. Near Katwe, Toro, March 0, 1902. 

 Feet darkish brown. 



H. 1021. S ad. Near Kangao's, Toro, March 11, 1902. 

 Iris brown; bill darkish brown; feet fleshy brown. A 

 common bird here and easy to procure at dusk, because of 

 the white which shews up most conspicuously. 



[So far as I can determine, both these examples are 

 Scotornis climacurus and neither is Caprimulgus apatelius of 

 Neumann (J. f. O. 1905, p. 198). Mr. Neumann lias 

 identified a specimen collected by Sir A. Pease (C.fossei, 

 Grant, Ibis, 1901, p. 672) as belonging to his species, and I 

 think that three birds from Danakil, obtained by Mr. Degen, 

 are also C. apatelius. The white bar on the first primary 

 does not always seem to be continuous across the outer web, 

 and can hardly be considered a certain character. I am 

 not at all satisfied as to C. apatelius being a valid species. —

Macrodypteryx longipennis (Shaw); Sharpe, Hand-1. 13. ii.
