- notice the species in Arabia, Lut Mr. Wyatt saw it once in the Sinaitic Peninsula, at 

 Wady Ureit, on the 24th of March. It was no doubt an accidental visitor from Egypt, 

 and as Mr. TTyatt was well acquainted with the species in the latter country, there can 

 be no doubt as to the identification. 



Canon Tristram states that Hirnndo savlgnii is a constant resident in the Holy 

 Land ; but it should be remarked that wc have examined several specimens obtained 

 during Canon Tristram's expeditions to Palestine, and they were certainly not true 

 //. savignii, but a very dark form of S. mstica. For this reason we believe that the 

 former bird is strictly confined to Egypt. 



The description is taken from specimens in the British Museum, and the Plate is 

 drawn from a bird shot by Mr. Wyatt near Cairo.
