] P. chloronotus, Brehm. (Poule de Ris, Hasselquist) ; "Dick sultani." We made the acquaintance of this fine bird at the Faioum, where it was frequently to be seen stalking about among the reeds at the mouth of the Bar-El-Wady canal. M. Filliponi informs me that they were once common at Damietta, but now are rare. He writes: — "Vers le 1856, chaque chasseur Arabe pourrait en tuer jusqu'a 30 par jour" (in. lift.). They appear to have been common there in Hasselquist's time (175 1), under the nam...e of Poule de Ris* He says : — " This is of the Hen tribe. * * * * They come in May and the following months, taking up their quarters in the rice fields " (Engl. Trans., p. 211). Von Heuglin says very much the same of his P. cegyptia- cus, which Finsch and Hartlaub and Schlegel unite with P. smaragdonotus: — " Common the whole summer in Lower Egypt, especially in the lake of Elku, Damietta, in the rice fields. If I rightly remember it is not there in winter" (Syst. Uebers, p. 65). I doubt however its being exclusively a summer migrant.
