visitors during the spring and autumn migrations. I have 

 frequently heard it singing during the autumn. 



29. Sylvia subalpina Temm. 

 Sylvia subalpina Shelley, p. 109. 



The Subalpine Warbler is a regular visitor in spring, 

 though not in any great numbers. The only record of this 

 species during the autumn is of one example which I saw on 

 November 27th, 1906, in the Zoological Gardens. 



30. Sylvia conspicillata Temm. 

 Sylvia conspicillata Shelley, p. 109. 



Capt. Shelley inserts this species with " some hesitation," 

 as he did not meet with it in Egypt. Dr. Walter Innes 

 obtained it in the Wadi Hof in the Province of Giza> 

 and in tlie same place I have found it in February and 

 December 1908. 



31. Sylvia melanocephala Gm. 

 Curruca melanocephala Shelley, p. 107. 



I have occasionally met with this species in spring and 

 winter in the Zoological Gardens, but have as yet procured 

 no specimens. 



32. [Sylvia mom us. 



On March l-lth, 1907, I watched a bird, which I feel 

 sure was Bowman's Warbler, in my garden, but was unable 

 to obtain it. This species is not mentioned by Capt. 

 Shelley.] 



33. Sylvia orphea Temm. 

 Curruca orphea Shelley, p. 104. 



Two birds which I fancy were Orphean Warblers fre- 

 quented the Zoological Gardens during November 1906. 



I have no specimens of the species from Egypt, and at 

 present agree with Capt. Shelley that it is of rare occurrence 

 in that country. 



34. Sylvia kueppelli Temm. 

 Curruca rueppellii Shelley, p. 106.
