Aden and (he Neighbourhood. 17 



t22. BuLBUL. {Pycnonotus arsinoe.) 



Resident, both in Aden itself and also in the neighbour- 

 hood. I found the nest with three hard-set eggs in Gold 

 Mohur valley, at Aden, on the 17th of April, 1883. The 

 eggs were of the usual Bulbnl type, and were sent to Mr, 

 Hume at Simla. 



A larger Bulbul is occasionally seen inland. 



23. Chats. {Saxicoke, sp. inc.) 



Two species, which I believe to be S. oenanthe and S. sla- 

 pazina, are regular cold- weather visitants. More species 

 may, perhaps, visit us in the cold weather, for I fancy I have 

 seen a dark-coloured Chat as well. 



t24. Temminck^s Chat-Robtn. {Myrmecocichla me- 

 lanura.) 



The Aden Robin is a resident, and is reputed to build in 

 holes in rocks. Avails, &c., but I have never come across a 

 nest. It has a very sweet little song. 



25. Redstart. [Ruticilla, sp. inc.) 

 An occasional cold-weather visitant, 



26. Wakbler. (wSp. inc.) 



A small Warbler seems to be a regular spring visitant, 

 several being seen in the caper-bushes on the hill-sides during 

 May and June 1883. Skin sent to Mr. Hume, 



27. White Wagtail. {MotaciUa alba.) 



A regular cold-weather visitant, appearing, too, at odd 

 times of the year. It never remains long, excepting in the 

 cold weather. 



28. Black-headed Wagtail. {MotaciUa feldeggii.) 



A species of yellow Wagtail with a black head is occa- 

 sionally to be seen inland. 



29. 30. Crows. {Corvus, sp. inc.) 



A Raven, which I think must be Corvus affinis, is a resi- 

 dent, but has, I believe, been imported. There are only 

 three individuals, and the number does not seem to increase. 



A very large Raven is seen in the desert inland.
