SAVAGE SUDAN 
For once'—it was at Doleib hill on the Sobat—I 
caught sight of a mirafra while still undisturbed in the 
depths of the grass jungle. From that glimpse some of 
these sketches evolved. 
Needless to add, we never set eyes on ostrich near 
Malakal! Still, having secured two specimens of a 
creature absolutely new to science—none of your “sub¬ 
species ”!—and six of another new to the Sudan (to say 
nothing of the forbidden duikers, which are also probably 
“new”), we were well content with our long day’s ramble 
in the wilderness. 
Our New Bush-Lark ('Mirafra sobatensis , Lynes).
