XXXIII. — On a Co/lection of Birds from Sorithem Abyssinia, 

 presented to the British Museum by Mr. TV. N. McMillan. — 

 Part I. Passeres. By W. R. Ogilvie-Grant. 



(Plate XII.) 



In the October number of the ' Ibis/ 1907, I published a 

 report on a valuable collection of birds made by Mr. W. N. 

 McMillan during an expedition to the Sobat and Baro Rivers 

 in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, between November 1903 and 

 March 1904.. Mr. P. C. Zaphiro, a good field-naturalist and 

 skilful taxidermist, was employed by Mr. McMillan, who in 

 the most generous way placed the whole of his collection of 

 birds at the disposal of the Natural History Museum. 



Finding that this collection was most acceptable to the 

 Museum, Mr. McMillan very wisely decided to employ the 

 same collector to investigate the fauna of Southern Abyssinia, 

 between Addis Abbaba and Lake Rudolf, where comparatively 

 little collecting had been done. 



* I have been unable to see this rare pamplilet which is quoted by 

 Bailly in his article in Bull. Soc. Hist. Nat. Savoie, 1852, p. 11.
