700 Mr. M. J. Nicoll on a [Ibis, 



Upnpa epops. 



Page 66G. The Egyptian race is not U. e. major Nicoll, 

 but U. e. major Brehm. I only rediscovered this interesting 

 form which, of late years, owing to the protection given to 

 it, has increased enormously. 



Falco concolor Temminck. 



The range of this Falcon is not yet clearly understood. 

 There is no doubt that it breeds in Egypt, and the examples 

 met with elsewhere are on migration. It is certain that it 

 is a Palsearctic form as regards its breeding range, i£ we 

 include Egypt in the Palsearctic region. Its occurrence in 

 Madagascar in winter, as has, I believe, been recorded, shows 

 that it migrates south, so that it is probable that it may be 

 found in the Sudan. Ai any rate it seems to be a very rare 

 bird, and the appearance of a pair flying round the Giza 

 Zoological Gardens throughout June every year is well 

 worth seeing. I have also seen this pair accompanied by 

 their young. 



Circaetus gallicus ((Timclin). 



I must disagree with Sclater and Praed in their statement 

 reoarding the breedin<>, ranoe of this Ea"le. As I have 

 stated in my 'Handlist' the Short-toed Eagle is a ic^sident 

 in Egypt. 



Turdus torquatus alpestris (Brehm). 



Unfortunately, Flower only saw and did not obtain the 

 Ring-Ouzel at Dongola, p. (578. It is interesting to hear that 

 this form has occurred in the Sudan, as the only example I 

 have seen from Egypt was T. t. orientalis. This I shot at 

 Giza in 1906. 



Monticola solitarius solitarius (Linnreus). 



It is most remarkable that all the specimens from the 

 Sudan should be of this form, for a large series from Egypt 

 in our Museum are all referable to the well-marked race 

 M. s. transcaspicus Hartert.
