on the Red Sea Coast in May 1908 . 
(iv.) Motacilla flava melanocephala Licht. ? 
а. ? . Khor Arbat, 5. 5. 08. 
A few Black-headed Yellow Wagtails were seen along the 
stream for the first five days of May. This female was with 
two or three of these, and probably is of the same subspecies. 
There is hardly any trace of a pale eyebrow. 
5. Al,emon alaudipes (Desf.). 
Fairly frequent round Port Sudan and along the coast 
plain. 
б. Galerida cristata (Linn.). 
a-d. Three males and one female. Port Sudan, 19.5.08. 
Crested Larks were very common round Port Sudan and 
along the coast. I took my examples to Tring to get them 
subspecifically identified, and they appeared to agree best 
with G. c. brachyura Tristr., of Palestine. 
7. Ammomanes deserti (Licht.). 
a. S • Jebel Bawati, 11.5.08. 
b. $ juv. Khor Arbat, 1. 5. 08.

Pairs and small parties of these little Desert-Larks were 
met with daily among the rocky ground near the hills. 
8. Pyrrhulauda melanauchen (Cab.). 
a. S. Port Sudan, 25.5.08. 
These Finch-Larks were abundant near the coast. I met 
with one or two very large flocks of some hundreds. They 
all seemed to be in full moult. 
9. Emberiza septemstriata Bdpp. 
a. $ . Khor Arbat, 2. 5. 08. 
Pairs and small parties of this little Bock-Bunting were 
fairly frequent among the hills. I noted them on eight of 
the first sixteen days of May. 
10. ^Edemosyne cantans (Gm.). 
a. ? . Talgwareb Station, 29.4.08. 
I shot this bird at a station on the Red Sea Railway on 
my way to Port Sudan, but I did not note it on the coast.
