The occurrence of this bird in Persia has hitherto been 
uncertain, but there is a specimen from Fao in the British 
Museum (see Sharpe, ‘ Ibis,’ 1886, p. 481). The two indi- 
viduals may have been migrants, or the species may breed in 
Mesopotamia and would then be likely to occur at Fao and at 
Ahwaz, which may be said to be geographically in that region. .
