1921 .] Birds of Lower Egypt. 
86 . (Enanthe leucopyga. White-rumped Chat. 
This bird undoubtedly breeds in the Wadi Hof, Wadi 
Resheid, Wadi el Dejla, and other suitable places. Messrs. 
Bahr, Bigger, and Borman found a nest containing young 
five days old on 22 April, 1919. This was built under a rock 
in the Moqattam Hills near Cairo, and contained four young 
birds. 
[Old nests, presumed to be of this species, were also found 
in the Wadi Hof in May 1909, and on 6 April 1910. I shot a 
female with small ovary : the bird was very fat. Mr. Nicoll 
has also obtained young birds in the Wadi Hof, which were 
undoubtedly bred there. A series of eggs of the Egyptian 
Pied Chats is badly needed. It appears probable that first 
nests will be found in early March.-—R. S,] 
87. (Enanthe monacha. Hooded Chat. 
[This Chat was common at Luxor in December 1909, and 
a pair with three fledged young were observed in the Wadi 
Hof on 2 . vi. 10 .—R. S.]

On 3 May, 1917, I shot a bird which Mr. M. J. Nicoll
