The examples of this small series of the Hoopoe collected on the Din¬ 
der show a variable size, but are all typically coloured. The smallest specimen 
has the wing 140, the bill 55, whereas the largest (U. major, Brehm) has 
the wing 157, the bill 66 mm. 
The Hoopoe was abundantly seen during our journey especially 
along the rivers.

The Butler’s Hoopoe differs from the common Hoopoe not only 
in smaller size, but having the mantle reddish instead of eardhy-brown. 
Tot. length 285, wing 125 tail 95, bill 42 mm. 
First Mr. Butler called my attention to this bird and I saw also some 
small specimens in his collection at Khartoum, but I cannot remember 
more whether his examples were small specimens of Upupa epops or belong 
to this veiy species.
