552 Capt. A. W. Boyd on Birds of the [Ibis, 



Phalocrocorax carbo. Cormorant. 



Five at Suez on April 3 by the Gulf of Suez. 



Pelecauus sp. ? Pelican. 



Fifteen flying west at Mobammedia on Oct. 20. 



Ardea cinerea. Grey Heron. 



A few at Shallufa and Suez in April. 



Ardea purpurea. Purple Heron. 



One at Shallufa on April 1 by a pool near the Sweet- 

 Water Canal. In the autumn I first saw a few on Sept. 1 

 and 2 at Mohammedia ; on Sept. 3 I saw two flocks, one of 

 which must have numbered hundreds, passing from east to 

 west along the coast between Mohammedia and Port Said. 



Ardea ralloides. Squacco Heron. 



On May 27 there was a single bird in a marsh on the west 

 side of the Canal at Kubri, but I saw no others ; near Cairo 

 in 1915 I saw it in some numbers. 



Nycticorax griseus. Night-Heron. 



Early in September I twice saw birds passing too far out 

 at sea to be identified with certainty, but on Oct. 12 I found 

 two young birds in a thorny bush near the sea and identified 

 them at close quarters. I knew ihe bird well from having 

 seen it frequently in the well-known colony at the 

 Zoological Gardens at Giza. 



Ciconia alba. White Stork. 



On April 22 there were hundreds on the salt-marsh north 

 of Suez and scattered in smaller numbers among the fields 

 and in the cultivation ; but on the next day only a few were 

 left, and they were reduced to six by April 29. A single 

 bird which I saw near Kubri on May 27 was probably a 

 cripple. 



Ciconia nigra. Black Stork. 



On April 29, on the marsh north of Suez, there was a 

 flock numbering between sixty and seventy. 



Phcenicopterus roseus. Flamingo. 



On Oct. 11 a flock of sixty was passing along the coast 

 from east to west at Mohammedia. On Nov. 7, on the
