556 On Birds of the Suez Canal Zone. [Ibis, 



Totanus ochropus. Green Sandpiper. 



On April 1 one by a pool at Shallufa ; one on April 14 

 and three on April 23 at Suez. It occurs commouly in the 

 Delta. 



Totanus hypoleucus. Common Sandpiper. 

 Only seen twice : one at Suez^ April 29; one near Moham- 

 media, Nov. 5. 



Numenius arquatus. Common Curlew. 



Fairly common at Suez in April, and a number still at 

 Port Tewfik on May 28. I did not identify N, tenuirostris 

 among them. 



Hydrochelidon hybrida. Whiskered Tern. 



Three dark-breasted Terns flew north up the Canal at 

 Shallufa on April 1, and I am fairly confident that this was 

 the species which I had clearly identified at Abou Zabal near 

 Cairo in April 1915. 



Sterna minnta. Little Tern. 



On April 14 I saw four Little Terns at the water's edge at 

 Suez, and I was able to approach closely enough to see their 

 yellow bills. On Sept. 1 two Terns flying from east to west 

 along the coast at Mohammedia Avere either of this species 

 or were immature Hydrochelidon nigra. 



Rissa tridactyla. Kittiwake. 



A few immature birds at Port Said on iMarch 15. 



Larus ridibundus. Black-headed Gull. 



1 have a note of its occurrence very commonly along the 

 Canal from Suez to Port Said in Pebruary, March, April, 

 and November. 



Lams ichtbyaetus. Great Black-headed Gull. 

 I saw a number in the Gulf of Suez and an odd bird 

 up the Canal as far as Kubri on May 28.
