Captain H. Lynes exhihited two more new subspecies of 

 birds found by him in Darfur Province, Anglo-Egyptian 

 Sudan : — 



Micropus SBquatorialis furensis, subsp. nov. 



" Darfur Equatorial Swift." 



Intermediate between typical M. crquatoriaUs and M. a\ 

 lowei Bannerman. Above smoky-brown like the former ; 

 below resembling the latter in the large clearly defined 

 white throat-patch and in the barred white lower breast and 

 belly, but the whole colour paler (like upperside) and the 

 barred ^o//^7^ feathering extending also to the flanks and sides 

 of the body. 



Wing 208 mm., tail 85 mm., tarsus 15 mm., bill 10 mm. 



Ti/jye. In the British Museum. ^ ad. El Fasher, 

 Darfur, 17.iii.20. TJollected by Captain Lynes. 



Four specimens collected at El Fasher : — 



3 adult males : wings 206-208 mm., tails 85 mm. 



1 adult male : wing 200 mm., tail 85 mm. 



Ohs. Although all specimens were collected at El Fasher 

 (alt. 2600 feet), the birds only came there (probably from 

 the mountains) for half-an-hour each mid-day to drink at 

 the pools. 



Fringillaria striolata jebelmarrae, subsp. nov. 



" Jebel Marra Rock-Bunting.'^ 



Of siuiilar colour-pattern to F. striolata, but altogether 

 larger and a more richly coloured bird, even than 

 F. satiiratior. 



Whole head, neck, throat, and crop French-gre}'^, streaked 

 with })lack, heavily above, but so much less so below as to 

 leave the French-grey colour quite predominant. The white 

 superciliary and moustachial streaks are much less distinct 

 than in F. striolata. 



Breast, belly, and flanks rich red-brown (Mikado-brown, 

 Ridyway). Wings, tail, and remainder of plumage of similar
