542 Capt. A. W. Boyd on B(rd.<< of the [Ibis, 



Turdus musicus. Song-Thrush. 



One at the end of October at Romani and one at Ismailia 

 in the palm-grove on 18 Feb., 1917. 



Turdns merula. Blackbird. 



One among the [)alms at Ismailia on 18 Feb., 1917, was 

 the only speciiiieu seen, but I believe that several birds 

 seen at dusk at Rabah (N. of Katia) on 20 Nov. were 

 Black1)irds. 



Monticola saxatilis Rock-Thrush. 



A single female or immature male at Mohammedia on 

 17 Oct. I saw a number at Alexandria in the spring of 

 1915. 



Monticola cyanus. Blue Rock-Thrush. 



One at Shallufa on the Canal-bank on 16 March. 



Saxicola cenanthe. Common Wheatear. 



I saw this species first on 22 March at Shallufa, and by 

 1 April it was quite common there and in large numbers 

 at Suez on 3 April. In the autumn it was quite common at 

 Romani in September. 



Saxicola melanoleuca. Black-throated Wheatear. 



A few at Shallufa and Suez in early April ; on 14 April 

 some numbers were passing at Suez. Odd specimens at 

 Romani at the end of August and in early September. 



[Saxicola finschi. Arabian Wheatear. 



Several birds at Mazar seen during the first fortnight of 

 December were almost certainly of this species, but I prefer 

 not to say so definitely as I was unable to secure any 

 specimens.] 



Saxicola deserti. Desert Wheatear. 



A few seen as far east as Mazar along the Sinai desert. 



Saxicola isahellina, Isabelliue Wheatear. 



On 4 July I got a view of a l)ird that looked like an 

 Isabelline at Baliah near the Canal. In the autumn it was 

 very common at Mohammedia in October.
