Dr. J. v. Madarasz also sent for exhibition four specimens 

 of Ptilocorys senegalensis, which replaces the Common 

 Crested Lark (P. cristatus) on the Hungarian littoral and 

 breeds in the rocks of the Karst Mountains ; and two 

 examples of P. nigricans, Brehm, of Egypt (Damietta, 1887), 

 which he considered a distinct species, not to be confounded 

 with P. cristatus. 



Mr. Hartert, who examined these Crested Larks, said 

 that these supposed Galerita nigricans of Brehm were the 

 same as his Galerita cristata delta. As the type of G. nigri- 

 cans was in the Tring Museum, Mr. Hartert would shortly 

 give his conclusions with respect to the identity of these 

 two forms. The type of G. c. delta was also from Damietta, 

 collected by Schrader.
