Mr. M. J. Nicoll— Contributions 
departure. I have eleven specimens of this species from 
Giza; in all of them the tarsi and toes are lead-coloured 
with a tinge of brown. 
48. Locustella n^eyia (Bodd.). 
On September 28th, 1907, I saw a Grasshopper-Warbler 
in the Zoological Gardens. I have no other record of 
the species from Giza or Egypt. Capt. Shelley does not 
mention it. 
49. Acrocephalus phragmitis (Bechst.). 
Calamodyta schcenob&nus Shelley, p. 91. 
During the autumn migration (September 1908) I found 
great numbers of Sedge-Warblers in the cotton-fields near 
Giza, and obtained a pair of adults and one immature 
example. 
50. Acrocephalus melanopogon (Temm.). 
Calamodyta melanopogon Shelley, p. 93. 
I saw one example of this species outside the Zoological 
Gardens on August 23rd, 1907. This is the only occasion 
on which I have seen it in the Province of Giza. 
Some six years ago Dr. P. L. Sclater shewed me the skin 
of an example which he had shot close to the same place. 
51. Acrocephalus aquaticus (Gm.). 
Calamodyta aquatica Shelley, p. 92.

of cotton, on November 17th, 1908. 
52. Acrocephalus stentoreus (Ilempr. & Ehr.). 
Acrocephalus stentoreus Shelley, p. 95. 
The Clamorous Great Reed-Warbler is probably a resident 
in Egypt. I have only one record from the Province of 
Giza. I saw an example in the Gardens of the Government 
Aquarium in the autumn of 1907. 
53. Acrocephalus turdoides (Meyer). 
Acrocephalus turdoides Shelley, p. 96. 
Capt. Shelley did not meet with this Great Reed-Warbler 
in Egypt. I have an adult male which I shot in the Province
