122 RAMBLES OF A NATURALIST. 
Avocet, Common and Demoiselle Cranes; and in the 
second volume of Rossellini’s “Monumenti Civili,” there are 
some capital plates which cannot fail to interest. My father 
and I think they may be identified as follows :— 
Plate V. Night Heron. 
» WII. Pintail Duck. Ruddy Shelduck. 
Mallard. ‘Teal. 
» WIII. Red-backed Shrike. Hoopoe. 
i X. Avocet. 
5 XI. Dove. 
» XIII. White-fronted Goose. Sacred Ibis. 
» XIV. Pelican, Ostrich. Young Ibises in 
nest (see antea). 
In Vol. I. a Geronticus, probably G. comatus, Ehr., will be 
found at plates XXXI. and CLV. There is also a figure 
in Wilkinson’s plate LXXV., which I refer with very little 
doubt to Leptoptilus crumenifer, Cuv.* 
I have mentioned elsewhere that the Red-breasted Goose 
is to be considered a bird of Egypt. I will conclude this 
chapter by enumerating a few others: which put in a 
claim. 
First. Captain Shelley originally admitted the Eleonora 
Falcon (“ Ibis,” 1871, p. 42), and I think it should be rein- 
stated, as my father considers that the figure of a young 
male Falko gracilis (A. and L. Brehm) killed near Cairo in 
September, 1851, (Archiv fur die Ornithologie, 1856, p. 194,) 
is undoubtedly nothing else. 
Second. There is in the Norwich Museum an adult 
Accipiter sphenurus marked “Egypt,” but I greatly doubt 
the correctness of this locality. It was obtained from a 
dealer named Warwick. 
* A Marabou Stork, probably this species, is believed to have 
occurred at Ajmokra in Eastern Algeria. (Zoologist, 2591.)
