Now Galerida cristata altirostris ( Brehm, 1855 ) . See Hartert, 1928: 202 , Peters, 1960a: 59 , and Keith et al., 1992: 101 . HOLOTYPE : AMNH 557626 , adult male, collected at Zaghig , Wâdi­el­Natrûn , Egypt , on 26 February 1903 , by N.C. Rothschild and F. R . Henley (no. 176). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS : In the original description, Hartert gave the field number of the above specimen and stated that he had examined 4 specimens , including the type. The three paratypes are AMNH 557627 and 557632 from the same locality, and AMNH 557633 from Bir Victoria . Three specimens collected by W.L.S. Loat at Wâdi­el­Natrûn in the same year were not included and may have been acquired by Rothschild at a later date. Hartert (1928: 202) himself synonymized G. cristata caroli with G. c. brachyura Tristram. This was later synonymized with G. c. altirostris ( Peters, 1960a: 59 ) . I was unable to find the exact location of Zaghig; however, Wâdi­el­Natrûn is ca. 60 mi SSE of Alexandria and 65 mi WNW of Cairo ( Seltzer, 1962: 1289 ).
