Larus cachinnans. Yel 1 ovv -legged Herring-Gull. 



Common in March, April, and November at Port Said 

 and Shallufa (on the Canal), and probably at other times ; 

 at Mohammedia in September and a large Hock always at 

 El Arish in January, where they often flew over the town as 

 if accustomed to feed there. They seemed to be tame, and 

 on occasions settled among our bivouacs. 



Larus fuscus. Lesser Black-backed Gull. 



During April there was a large flock at Suez, and I 

 noticed it increased greatly about April 29, when they were 

 probably passing. I saw this bird in February^ March, 

 April, and May along the Canal. 



PuflBnus yelkouanus. Levantine Shearwater. 

 Odd birds on Sept. 1 and 5 off Mohammedia. Mr. H. H. 

 Storey picked up one of this species there.
