The Birds of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. 
Sir, —In the last part of their paper (Ibis, 1920, p. 815) 
Messrs. Sclater and Maekworth-Praed write of Stephanibyx 
melanoptet'us melanopterus : “ Riippell records a specimen of 
this bird from 4 Nubia.’ We should not regard it as 
admissible to the Sudanese list without further confirma¬ 
tion V There is a recent and confirmatory record. Mr. J. 
C. Phillips (Bull. Mns. Comp. Zool. Cambridge, Mass., 
vol. lviii. no. 1, p. 6) obtained a female example at Sennar 
on the 27th of December, 1912. 
As my record of the Sanderling Crocethia alba alba appears 
to be the only one from the Sudan, I would like to add that 
the bird was shot in the early spring on the White Nile at 
Khartoum and was in partial breeding-plumage. I mounted 
it myself and left it, labelled with sex and date, in the 
Gordon College Museum.

Yours truly, 
A. L. Butler.
