42. Lanins collnrio. Red-backed Shrike. 
From 10 August to 20 September numbers pass through 
Abu Zabal, being more numerous some years than others. 
Rarely observed in spring. 
43. Pycnonotus barbatus arsinoe. White-vented Bulbul. 
I saw ne wly-fledged young birds being fed by the parents 
in the gardens at the Barrage on 14 August, 1918, and had 
two old nests pointed out to me by Mr. Mart. One was in 
a creeper on the side of his house. I believe it breeds at 
Palais de Koabeh. 
[This Bulbul was common at Abbassia and at other places 
in the Fayurn in 1909, and undoubtedly breeds there, 
probably from March to May.—R. S.] 
[Eggs of this species are extremely rare in collections 
from Egypt, but I have one clutch of five eggs taken by 
Major P. E. Vaughan near Cairo.—F. C. R. J.] 
44. Muscicapa striata striata. Spotted Flycatcher. 
A regular bird on passage, being very numerous during 
some springs from the second week in April until as late 
as 23 May. In the autumn this species occurs between the 
middle of September and 19 October.

Less numerous than the preceding species, but observed

Rarely seen for certain. Several observed and one shot
