Abstract
Summary. A list of birds observed close to the shore at Safaga during the late spring, summer and autumn of 1942 has been compiled. The skins of two species believed not to have been obtained previously on Egyptian territory have been preserved. These belong to Ardea goliath and Butorides striatus. A live chick belonging to a pair of Kentish Plovers, Charadrius alexandrinun, was observed on Safaga Island on 13 May. Four European Swallows were observed to spend the summer at Safaga. A detailed account of migration during the autumn of 1942 has been given. This was of small density and appeared to follow the line of the coast.
