Mr. H. F. WiTHERBY exhibited a male specimen of Capri- 
mulgus eximius procured by him on the White Nile near 
Khartoum, in May 1900. As far as was known this was the 
fifth example of this bird that had been procured. Three 
examples were obtained in 1833 or 1834 by Hey, Riippell’s 
collector, probably near the White Nile. Two of these were 
at Frankfurt and one at Leyden {see Hartert, Ibis, 1893,
