Abstract
AN up-to-date treatise on the avifauna of Egypt has for some time past been a desideratum in ornithological literature. It is now forty-eight years since the late Capt. Shelley's well-known book, hitherto the foremost on the subject, appeared, and much has been added to the know ledge of the subject in the meantime. This want is well supplied in an epitomised form by Mr.. Nicoll's book.

By M. J. Nicoll. (Publication No. 29.) Pp. xii + 119 + 31 plates. (Cairo: Government Press 1919.) Price P.T. 15 (3s. 6d.).
