92. Long-winged Short-toed Lark, Calandrella brachydactyla longipennis. 
Numbers of Short-toed Larks may be seen flying over the Gardens 
during the spring and autumn migrations, but as two different 
sub-species occur commonly in Egypt it is impossible to say to 
which form those seen belong. One which was picked up dead on 
22nd March 1903, however, belongs to the present form, which is 
greyer than the typical form and has moreover longer wings. 
93. Swift, Cypselus apus apus. 
Cypselus apus, S. 172. 
94. Pale Swift, Cypselus apus murinus. 
Cypselus pallidus, S. 172. 
These two forms are impossible to distinguish apart when flying over¬ 
head. The latter may be seen throughout the year. 
95. Nightjar, Caprimulgus europaeus. 
S. 174. 
A regular visitor during spring and autumn migrations. 
* Crested Larks seen flying over may belong either to the dark delta form or to the 
nearly allied slightly paler G. c. altirostris , which is found also near Giza.
