Galerida cristata caroli Hartert, 1904a: 234 (Natron Tal).

Now Galerida cristata altirostris ( Brehm, 1855) View in CoL . See Hartert, 1928: 202, Peters, 1960a: 59, and Keith et al., 1992: 101.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 557626 About AMNH , 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).
