37. [Crocodilus niloticus Lauz. A few crocodiles were ob- 

 served at the sixth cataract. A young one I got at Omdurman 

 but not until south of ed Dueim the monsters began to be 

 tolerably commun, frequenting especially places with a little 

 swifter current, such as the Shellal north of Gebelein and the 

 river near Mohaddan el Zeraf. The farther south we went the 

 commoner the crocodiles became. On Febr. the 26 th we found 

 a set of crocodile eggs, but they contained no fosters and my 

 attempt to hatch them consequently failed. But an April the 

 27 th I got another set near the sixth cataract and these eggs con- 

 tained embryos. L. A. J — d.]
