156 RAMBLES OF A NATURALIST. 
chat varies in the same way (cf. Yarrell, B. B., fourth 
edition, p. 219.) 
55. SPOTTED FLYCATCHER, Muscicapa grisola, Linn. 
A scarce bird in Egypt. I got it first on the 22nd of 
April, and from time to time I saw single birds up to the 
second week in June. 
56. WHITE-COLLARED FLYCATCHER, Muscicapa collaris 
Bechst. 
I shot a hen at the Memnonium on the 13th of April, 
which I refer to this species. 
57. WHITE-VENTED BULBUL, Pycnonotus arsinoe (Licht.) 
Five seen at the Faioum, of which I shot two. The 
natives called them Sz/dz/, and said they -ate apricots. 
There was an apricot tree close to where I shot them. One 
‘was seen near Medinet on a tall palm, singing. Hemprich 
and Ehrenberg obtained their first specimens in this pro- 
vince, therefore I cannot say we have extended its range, 
but the bird is really a Nubian species. -I compared one of 
my specimens with one of their types in Captain Shelley’s 
collection, marked “ Dongola:” it was somewhat larger and 
rather whiter on the under parts than mine. 
58. FIELDFARE, Zurdus pilaris, Linn. 
I saw one at Mayer’s shop at Alexandria, no doubt the 
same seen by Captain Shelley. 
59. SONG-THRUSH, Turdus musicus, Linn. ; 
T. planiceps, Hemp. & Ehr.; “ Chahrur.” 
Two were shot in-the Delta.
