the wing measurements of specimens of AI. o. deopatra, in 

 the British Museum, average 63 mm. Tiiose in the Giza 

 Museum average 92 nnn. ; over 20 measured. 



The name lamark used by S. & P. is antedated by orientalis. 



Pycnonotus barbatus arsinoe (Lichtenstein). 



A pair from Haifa, Feb. 1921, are decidedly different in 

 coloration from any of our series at Giza. It w^ould be 

 interesting to compare a large series from the vicinity of 

 Haifa.

Tyto alba alba (Scopoli).

The Barn-Ovvl varies considerably throughout its range in 

 Egypt and the Sudan. I have seen specimens in Egypt as 

 dark as, or even darker than, the so-called maculata, of the 

 Sudan. On the other hand, some specimens from Khartoum, 

 v/hich I have seen, are as pale and little spotted as are the 

 majority of Egyptian examples. 



Otus scops scops (Linnseus).

These agree well with the pale Kestrels which pass through 

 Egypt, and must at present be assigned to this form though 

 they seem to be a little paler thnn British examples. 



Milvus migrans parasitus (Daudinj.

Milvus migrans aegyptius (Gmelin).

This was probably breeding or abotit to do so, as a note on 

 the label says "Testes enlarged."
