Mr. E. C. 'Mor—Egijpt Revisited. 63 



78. PuYLLOPNEUSTE SYLvicoLA (Latham). Wood- Wren. 

 Seen at Damietta in April. 



79. PsEUDOLUSCiNiA LCTsciNiGiDEs (Savi). Savi's Warbler. 

 Not uncommon among reeds and other aquatic plants. 



80. Calamodyta stentoria (Hempr. et Ehr.) ; Ibis, 1864, 



I found this rare bird near Damietta early in April, in the 

 same lake where it had previously been discovered by Mr. S. 

 Allen. Although it was abundant therCj I only got two speci- 

 mens. 



81. Cisticola sch(ENICOla, Bonaparte. Fantail Warbler. 



This, the smallest of Egyptian birds, is abundant, and gene- 

 rally to be seen flying, with a peculiarly jerking flight, over 

 wheat-fields, incessantly uttering a sharp cry, remarkably loud 

 for the size of the bird. 



82. Suva gracilis (Riippell), Atl. t. 2. fig. b. 



This pretty little bird is resident through the winter, and 

 common throughout Egypt, wherever there are bushes. I found 

 it abundant near Cairo in January. 



83. MoTACiLLA ALBA, L. W^hite Wagtail. 



Perhaps the commonest bird in the country, and the only 

 small bird I saw at Suez. 



84. MoTACiLLA LUGUBRis, Tcmminck ; Gould, B. Eur. ii. 

 pi. 142. "M. vidua Sund.," Tristram, Ibis, 1866, p. 291. 



I saw two or three pairs of this very distinct and well- 

 marked species on the banks of the Nile, at Assouan, but did 

 not observe it elsewhere. 



85. MoTACiLLA SULPHUREA, Bcchsteiu. Grey Wagtail. 

 Seen at Cairo in January. 



86. BuDYTES FLAVUs (L.), var. cinereo-capillus, Savi. Grey- 

 headed Wagtail. 



Abundant all along the Nile in February and March. 



87. Anthus rufogularis, Brehm. Red-throated Pipit. 

 Common in suitable localities from December to April. I 



never saw the common Meadow-Pipit [Anthus prat ensis) .
