CYPSELUS AFFINIS. 
African bird, and we cannot alter our opinion of their identity. 
We have never seen the bird known as C. abyssindcus, to which 
however Dr. Hartlaub refers Gordon’s birds. It is possible C. 
abyssinicus may be distinct, and Gordon’s specimen a straggling 
C. affinis. The common Quail is found over all the Old World. 
The common Wheatear and Skylark of Europe have lately been 
shot in Bermuda. We are inclined to the opinion, that the In- 
dian bird extends to the African continent.
