Motacilla viridis. Grey-headed Wagtail. 



On April 14 and 29 at Suez in the large Wagtail flocks. 



Motacilla melanocephala. Black-headed Wagtail. 

 On April 13 at Suez and Aug. 2i at Romarii. These were 

 the only ones I definitely identified. 



[Anthus richardi. Richard^s Pipit. 



On March 31 at Shallufa and April 3 at Suez I saw large 

 Pi|)its which I think were of this species.] 



I failed to identify any Pipits definitely, but I think I 

 saw Tree-Pipits at Suez on April 14. In the spring of 1915, 

 when I had more time for observation, I saw many Red- 

 throated, Tree, and Tawny Pipits in the Delta. 



Lanius elegans. Pallid Shrike. 



This was a common resident species from Ballah and 

 Kantara on the Canal to Mazar. I saw it frequently all 

 along the north road, and at Katia on Aug. 11 saw one with 

 a young bird. It was quite common in and about the camps 

 at Mazar in December. 



Lanius coUnrio. Red-backed Shrike. 



First seen at Romani on Aug. 21 and in numbers till 

 Sept. 10 ; they were noticeably common about the end of 

 August among the desert-scrub. 



Lanius auriculatus. Woodchat Shrike. 

 One seen on April 15 at Suez in a bush at the edge of the 

 cultivation. 



Lanius nubicus. Masked Shrike. 



On April 21 I saw one at Port Tewfik (Suez) in a tree at 

 the water's edge ; in the autumn there was one at Romani 

 on Aug. 22. 



Mnscicapa grisola. Spotted Flycatcher. 

 Several on April 21 at Port Tewfik ; one at Mohammedia
