Mr. M. J. Nicoll —Contributions 
so numerous in the Province, apparently, as it is in the Delta 
and on Lake Menzaleh. 
189. Euligula ferina. 
Fuligula ferina Shelley, p. 287. 
The Pochard is abundant in the Province during the 
inundation. 
190. Euligula rufina. 
The Red-crested Pochard, although not met with by 
Shelley, seems to be not uncommon in Egypt. 
I have two records from the Province. On the 9th of 
September, 1902, two birds were seen by Capt. Elower 
and Mr. A. L. Butler flying over the Zoological Gardens ; 
and Dr. Walter Innes Bey tells me that during the winter 
of 1908-9 he observed this species on the Nile near 
Giza. 
191. Fuligula cristata. 
Fuligula cristata Shelley, p. 290. 
The Tufted Duck is a common winter visitor to the 
Province. 
192. Euligula nyroca. 
Nyroca leucophthalma Shelley, p. 288. 
The Ferruginous Duck is another common winter visitor 
to the district. 
193. Mergus merganser. 
During the winter of 1907 a Goosander frequented the 
flooded ground near Giza, and was seen by both Capt. 
J. W. H. Seppings and myself. 
I believe I have once seen a Red-breasted Merganser, 
M. serrator, near Giza, but it was at too great a distance to 
be positively identified. 
194. Mergus albellus. 
An adult male was shot at Ghatta on the 9th of January, 
1903, by Mr. M. de C. Findley, who kindly presented it to 
our collection. This appears to be the first record of the 
Smew from Egypt.
