Dinder. On one occasion Count Königsego fired at the flock with his rifle

I observed Demoiselle Crane during the sail from Senga to Senar 
in very great numbers about the first days of March. I saw near Shalläl 
not far from Senga more than a thousand individuals assembling on a sand¬ 
bank. I succeeded in shooting three specimens of which one male was ob¬ 
tained for the collection and the two others were eaten by the native ser- 
vents on the vessel.

I only met once with the Marabou during our tour in Sudan on 
28 th January 1911 between El-Erediba and Shalläl. It was a small company 
of 10—15 individuals together, many Milvus aegyptius were occupied round 
them probably upon a cárion. A few days later one specimen was killed by 
Count Königsegg. The above enumerated two male examples were 
obtained by him on his second expedition in 1912.
