XII. ANNALES M USE I NATIONALIS HUNGAEICI. 1914. A CONTRIBUTION TO THE ORNITHOLOGY OF THE EASTERN SUDAN. By Dr. J. v. MADARÁSZ. (Plate XI.) The* following publication comprises a list ot birds, which CountF. KÖNIGSEGG and I collected in Sudan namely on the Blue-Nile and Dinder in 1911 —1912. The collecting came to pass in two instances, the first continued from January to end of March 1911 and the second from December 1911 until April 1912. I only accompanied Count KÖNIGSEGG in his first journey, which led through Egypt to Khartoum and Senar, where the outfit was concluded. The march from Senar started on 26 t b January with camels and donkies, and the following places were visited: El-Erediba, Blue-Nile (26. I.), Shalläl, Blue- Nile (28. I.) Senga, Blue-Nile (30. I.), Luieza, Dinder (2. II.), Chamissa, Dinder (6. II.), Abu-Hashim , Dinder (7. II.), Beida , Dinder (11. II.), Khor-Em-Dul, between Dinder and BlueNile (16. II.), Karkodj, Blue-Nile (18. II.), Senga (24. II.), Senar (6. III.), in these places the collection was obtained. Count KÖNIGSEGG extended his second journey southwards to or a little farther down to Boseires to complete collection already commenced. Our stay in Khartoum was determined for the shortest time, till the equipment was ready, vet I took occasion to visit the sandy desert in vicinity of the town, on which sparsely low, thorny Mimosa bushes grow. Bound this vegetation I met with Auripasser luteus (LICHST.) in large flocks, then I observed Saxicola deserti. TEMM., Saxicola isabellina CRETZM., Hirundo aethiopica, BLANF., Riparia littoralis (LICHST.), Tachornis parvus (LICHST.) ; passing a little hill I saw three or four Petronia brachydactyla, Bp. (probably a new variety s. pag. 598) of wich I killed one single specimen with my stick-gun. These birds came in sight later again, which are — it seems not uncommon in those places, BUTLER, however, does not mention them in Iiis various papers. Drawing near the Nile many kinds of winter-visitors were engaged along the shore, where there was not wanting the inevitable Geryle rudis (L.), havering over the water. Near the river large flocks of Calandrella brachydactyla (LEISL.) and Melanocorypha bimaculata (MÉNÉTR .) spread
