14 Mr. C. W. Wyatt on the Birds of Sinai. 



Dromol^a monacha (iUipp.). 



I only met with this Chat on the marshes and amongst the 

 sandhills near Tor, where it occurs in abundance. 



*Pratincola RUBicoLA (Linn.). Stonechat. 

 Wady Lapata. 



Pratincola melanura (Riipp.). Blackstart. 

 This bird is very common from the lower parts of the moun- 

 tains, as far up as Wady Feiran, above which I never saw it. 



RuTicTLLA TiTHYS (Scopoli) . Black Rcdstart. 

 Tolerably common in the mountain district. 



RuTiciLLA PHCENicuRA (Linn.). Common Redstart. 

 Observed once in Wady Sa'l, April 4th. 



Cyanecula suecica (Linn.). Bluethroat. 

 Occurs at Wady Feiran, but is not common. 



Sylvia capistrata (Riipp.). Riipjjell's Warbler. 



A spring visitant, first seen March 10th. Not uncommon 

 near Sarbut-el-Khadem and in Wady Hamr, amongst the retem 

 bushes. Two of my specimens have black legs, while in the 

 others the legs are of a light colour. 



*Sylvia deserti, Tristram. 

 Wady Lehala. 



Sylvia melanocephala (Gmel.). Sardinian Warbler. 

 I only met with this bird in the oasis of Feiran, where it 

 frequents the tamarisks. 



Sylvia sarda (Marm.). Marmora's Warbler. 



This bird, as I have before said, I met with at the embou- 

 chure of Wady Hebran; I saw it so plainly as to leave no 

 doubt as to its identity. 



Sylvia DORiiE, De Filippi. Dorians Warbler. 

 Not uncommon on the salt-marshes near Tor. 



Phyllopneuste trochilus (Linn.). Willow- Wren. 



Common everywhere where there is any vegetation, except in 

 the higher parts of the mountains ; I never saw it at a greater 

 altitude than Wady Feiran.
