Iris yellow, mottled with brown; bill light slate-colour;

[One pair only of these Pelicans was seen on Lake Chercher, 
the species not having been met with again until the Blue 
Nile was reached. The isolated position of this lake and the 
absence of any stream of any magnitude out of it makes one 
wonder how these great unwieldy birds could have found 
their way there.—L.]
