to the Ornithology of Egypt. 293 
visitors during the spring and autumn migrations. I have 
frequently heard it singing during the autumn. 
29. Sylvia subalpina Temm. 
Sylvia subalpina Shelley, p. 109. 
The Subalpine Warbler is a regular visitor in spring, 
though not in any great numbers. The only record of this 
species during the autumn is of one example which I saw on 
November 27th, 1906, in the Zoological Gardens. 
30. Sylvia conspicillata Temm. 
Sylvia conspicillata Shelley, p. 109. 
Capt. Shelley inserts this species with “ some hesitation,” 
as he did not meet with it in Egypt. Dr. Walter Innes 
obtained it in the Wadi Hof in the Province of Giza> 
and in the same place I have found it in Eebruary and 
December 1908. 
31. Sylvia melanocephala Gm. 
Curruca melanocephala Shelley, p. 107. 
I have occasionally met with this species in spring and 
winter in the Zoological Gardens, but have as yet procured 
no specimens. 
32. [Sylvia mom us. 
On March 14th, 1907, I watched a bird, which 1 feel 
sure was Bowman’s Warbler, in my garden, but was unable 
to obtain it. This species is not mentioned by Capt. 
Shelley.] 
33. Sylvia orphea Temm. 
Curruca orphea Shelley, p. 104. 
Two birds which I fancy were Orphean Warblers fre¬ 
quented the Zoological Gardens during November 1906. 
I have no specimens of the species from Egypt, and at 
present agree with Capt. Shelley that it is of rare occurrence 
in that country.
