88. Anthus arboreus, Bechstein. Tree-Pipit. 

 One specimen shot. 



89. Anthus campestris, Bechstein. Tawny Pipit. 

 Appeared in Upper Egypt in March, and at once became 



abundant. 



90. Certhilauda DESERTORUM (Stanley). Bifasciated Lark. 

 Occasionally procured near the edge of the desert. 



91. Galerita CRIST ata (L.). Crested Lark. 

 Extremely abundant. Eggs procured in Upper Egypt early 



in March, are smaller than those of the common Sky-Lark 

 [Alauda arvensis), though the bird is larger.

 p. 434. Tristram's Lark. 



Seen only in the neighbourhood of Assouan, where it was 

 common, and in pairs at the beginning of March, 



96. Emberiza hortulana, L. Ortolan. 



I shot an individual of this species near Benisouef late in 

 March, This was the only time that I ever saw any species of 

 the genus in Egypt.
