I have not met with this Sand-Grouse, but Count Königsegg ob¬ 
tained the above mentioned two females on his tour for Roseires. According 
to Butler’s notes this handsome Sand-Grous in tolerably common in the 
bushes on the White-Nile, Dinder, Atbara and Setit. It is generally met 
with among thorn-trees, in pairs or small parties ; unlike the other species, 
this bird goes in flights to the water at, or just after, sunset, and it seems 
to be entirely a bird of the black cotton-soil and thorn-scrub, and does 
not appear to occur on the sandy deserts at all.

We possess in the Hungarian National Museum this one male specimen 
from Sudan obtained by Count Königsegg at Djerif on his way to Roseires. 
This Fruit-Pigeon is not mentioned in the recent publications compris¬ 
ing the Ornithology of the Sudan, though it is mentioned in Butler’s 
paper in the Ibis 1905 p. 353 but later it is referred in the same Periodical 
1908 p. 245 to Vinago calva, which was doubifully listed as Vinago waalia.
