This paper deals with the surviving ornithological stuffed specimens from the former Libyan Museum of Natural History, set up in Tripoli in 1936, in the extant Assaray Al-hamra Museums. The aim of this note is to provide a checklist of the stuffed birds still on display in the cases, while taking the opportunity to furnish a range of additional information that augments our knowledge of the current Libyan ornithofauna and also documenting its past diffusion in the north-African state. All the data recorded were gathered prior to the civil unrest that broke out in Libya in February 2011.
