Mr. C. W. Wyatt on the Birds of Sinai. 15 



Phyllopneuste rufa (Latham). Chiffchaff. 

 Found in the same localities as the preceding species, and is 

 equally abundant. 



Phyllopneuste bonellii (Vieillot). Bonelli^s Warbler. 



A spring visitant, first observed March 10th. Frequents 

 the retem-bushes to catch the insects that are attracted by the 

 bloom. 



Drym(Eca eremita (Tristram). Hermit Warbler. 



Inhabits the mountainous parts of the Peninsula ; it is very 

 common on the plain of Er Rahah, and in the wadys in the neigh- 

 bourhood of Jebel Musa; also occurs among the lower parts of 

 the mountains, but not so abundantly. It seems, in fact, to 

 appear in greater numbers as the elevation increases. 



Motacilla alba, Linn. White Wagtail. 

 Common, and of universal distribution. 



Motacilla flava, Linn. Yellow Wagtail. 

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



Motacilla sulphurea, Bechstein. Grey Wagtail. 

 I met with a pair of these birds, at the lower end of Wady 

 Hebran, where there is a stream of water. 



BuDYTEs FLAVUS (L.), var, cinereo-capillus, Savi. 

 Not uncommon on the shore of the Gulf of Akaba. 



Anthus campestris I Bechstein). Tawaiy Pipit. 

 A spring visitant. 



Anthus spinoletta (Linn.). Water-Pipit. 

 Frequents the sides of the salt-ponds, near Tor. 



*Cbrthilauda desertorum (Stanley). Bifasciated Lark. 

 Ain Musa. 



Galerita arenicola, Tristram. 



Occasionally met with in small flocks of 5 or 6, on the 

 marshes near Tor. 



Ammomanes deserti (Licht.). 



Very common amongst the higher parts of the mountains, 

 less abundant lower down.
