The rediscovery of this species in the Abyssinian coastlands is interesting. It had 
been hitherto only once obtained, by Mr. Daubeny, who collected the species near 
Massowa. Von Heuglin includes this species also in his list of the birds of the Red 
Sea (Ibis, 1859, p. 341) as being observed on the Somali and Danakil coasts and in 
Southern Arabia, but says, in a later paper on that subject (Peterm. Geograph. Mittheil. 
1861, p. 21), “8. stapazina and S. aurita, which are common in the Nile region, I have 
not seen along the shores of the Red Sea.”—0. F. 
[No notes on this species.—W. J.]
