Winter. Some of the above Accipitres at intervals : Turdus 

 merula, musicus, pilaris ; the Saxicolae as in spring, also the Cur- 

 ruca3 and Reguli ; Budytes flava, Alauda cristata, Par us major, 

 cceruleus, Emberiza miliaria, Fringilla ccelebs, carduelis, vulga- 

 ris, Linaria cannabina, spinus, Coccothraustes chloris, Picus me- 

 dius, Ardea nycticorax ; Scoiopaces as in autumn ; Larus ridi- 

 bundus, melanocephalus, Pelecanus onocrotalus ; and Lamelli- 

 rostres as in spring. 



Stationary Birds. With regard to the Accipitres, I have 

 not yet ascertained whether any of the species are stationary 

 throughout the year. Turdus cyaneus, Pyrgita vulgaris, Cor- 

 vus corax, monedula ? Perdix rufus remain all the year round. 

 There are several others of which I am still uncertain. 



On reviewing this list we are struck with the few indigenous 

 species. It shews the route many genera take in performing 

 their migrations, and points out a wider range to some species 

 than hitherto known : the Sylvia gulactoles is only as yet known 

 to occur in Spain, and the Stolida vulgaris, although not com- 

 mon, may be added to the catalogue of European species. A 

 general notice of how the migratory flocks occur may not be 

 uninteresting. As to the period when different species appear, 

 much depends on whether the weather is warm or cold, being 

 early in the former instance, and late in the latter. When the 

 winter is scarcely finished, those birds which appear early in 

 England arrive here, while the latter species and our summer 

 visitants are first observed about the end of spring; again, 

 about the middle of autumn, the summer visitants of this place, 

 or richly plumaged birds, depart, and are succeeded by those 

 with less gaudy tints from the north ; but the most sombre of all
