cT. Beida, Dinder, 18. II. 1911. 
I met with this Guinea-fowl everywhere in large flocks on our waj^ 
from Senar to Khor-Em-Dul especially on the Blue-Nile and Dinder. Nearly 
all the examples we shot were good for our feast. It is a great pity, that 
this only one male specimen was preserved for the collection, though the 
plumage of this single example is generally lighter as those of the speci¬ 
mens originating from Abyssinia and Uganda in the Hungarian National 
Museum. 
We have only, it might be, with an individual difference to do, but 
in case if all the Sudanese birds are similar coloured, they could be regarded 
as a good local variety. 
Francolinus Königseggi n. sp. 
The female of this species closely resembles the female of Fr. Sharpéi 
Grant, from Abyssinia, but smaller and, which differs from it in having 
the superciliary stripes, sides of face and throat ashy-grey instead of white. 
The crop as in the mentioned species : the feathers being brown shading 
into black at their ends, these dark markings, however, on the breast and 
sides of body are not so dense as in Fr. Sharpéi. 
Only one female specimen was obtained by Count Königsegg at 
Semsir on the Dinder on 20 th January 1912, Tot. length about 270, wing 
165, tail 70, tarsus 45 mm.
