young female from Ghenneh, obtained in October, and a male 
obtained at Dongola in April. 
Saxicola rostrata, Ehr. fol. aa. The type of this species 
is not in the collection; but Ehrenberg describes it as differ¬ 
ing from S. cenanthe in having a larger and longer bill. 
Amongst the specimens of S. cenanthe there are many speci¬ 
mens from the localities indicated having bills answering to 
Ehrenberg’s description. 
Sylvia semirufa, Ehr. fol. bb. Of this species there are 
eight specimens from Lebanon and one from Egypt, all of 
which agree with Ruticilla rufiventris , Yieill., Gray, Hand¬ 
list, no. 3161, but are, as a rule, smaller in size. 
Curruca stentorea, Ehr. fol. bb , will stand as Acroce- 
phalus stentoreus (Ehr.), and is an excellent species. There 
are two specimens, both labelled Turdus stentor, H. & Ehr., 
one from Ins-Rasfakil and the other from Arabia, which mea¬ 
sure as follows:—

Curruca pallida, Ehr., Curruca andromeda, Ehr., and 
Curruca maxillaris, Ehr. fol. bb ., are all referable to the 
species commonly known as Hypolais elceica , Lind., Gray, 
Hand-list, no. 3028, which will stand as Hypolais pallida 
(Ehr.). There are two specimens from Egypt, three from 
Nubia, three from Dongola, and one from Embukohl, the 
measurements of which are—culmen O'5 to 0*56 inch, wing 
2*4 to 2*6, tail 1*9 to 2*06, tarsus 0*82 to 0*88. 
Curruca famula, Ehr. fol. bb,~Drymoeca inquieta } Rupp., 
Gray, Hand-list, no. 2751. There are in the collection three 
specimens—one from Egypt, and two from Arabia. 
Curruca viridula, Ehr. fol. bb. There are five specimens, 
three of which have rather longer wings than the others, 
which are undistinguishable from the common Willow-Wren
