A few specimens, (^ and $ , from El Hammaii and Zeigen, 

 in April and May. 



18. Sylvia deserti (Loche). 



Two specimens, unsexed, from Oumsinerma, July 10th. 



Respecting this species, which is undoubtedly a good one, 

 being very distinct in colouring as compared with Sylvia nana 

 Hemp. & Ehr., Mr. Dodson says that he only met with it on 

 one occasion, when he came across a small party of five birds, 

 out of which he secured the two examples in the collection. 

 It is evidently more or less rare in Tripoli, as it is in Tunisia 

 and Algeria, its range being confined to certain districts 

 which are suited to its requirements. 



The two above-mentioned examples are extremely pale in 

 colouring, even for S. deserti.

 1 (J, from Ziegen, May 16th.

 Sebka, in April and May.
