244 RAMBLES OF A NATURALIST, | 
UNDETERMINED SPECIES, 
On the 12th of June I saw at the Faioum a very long- 
tailed bird, rather larger than a White Wagtail, and some- 
what similar in colour, flying over a garden of trees near our 
camp. I do not believe it belonged to any species, or even 
to any genus described in the “ Birds of Egypt,” and I am 
totally unable even to hazard a guess as to what it may 
have been.
