104 BIRDS OF EGYPT. 



list of Birds,' vol. i. p. 215, with the locality Egypt assigned 

 to it. This, however, is the only evidence I have for including 

 it in the present work ; for Von Heuglin does not mention 

 it as occurring in any part of North-eastern Africa. 



Very similar to P. trocJiilus; beak stronger; a distinct 

 yellowish-white eyebrow and a dusky streak from the lores 

 through the eye. There is no yellow shade on the rump, as 

 in P. Bonellii. Legs pale brown ; beak brown, inclining to 

 yellowish flesh-colour on the lower mandible. 



Entire length 5 inches; culmen 0'45; wing, carpus to 

 tip, 2'7 ; tarsus O'S. 



57. CuRRUCA HORTENSis (Gm.). Garden. Warbler. 



This Warbler is a spring visitant in Egypt, and is probably 

 never very plentiful there. Von Heuglin (Orn. N. 0. Afr, 

 p. 310) mentions having obtained a specimen on the island 

 of Roda, near Cairo, in the beginning of May. I know of 

 no other instance of its captm'e in that country. 



Entire upper plumage ashy brown, tinted with olive ; wings 

 and tail rather darker ; an indistinct pale eyebrow ; under- 

 parts white, tinted with brown on the lower part of the 

 throat and flanks ; beak brown, much paler on the lower 

 mandible ; legs slaty brown ; irides pale brown. 



Entire length 6 inches ; culmen 0*45 ; wing, carpus to 

 tip, 3"1 ; tarsus 0'85.
