THE BIKDS OF PORTUCJAL. 199 



the Museum of Lisbon , tliough it may be frequently 

 mot with in Alcmtcjo and Algarve ; and, indeed, from 

 the hitter province several specimens have been lately 

 obtained by the Ornithologist of Halle, M. E. IJey.] 



86. *Galeuita CRIST ATA (Linn.), * Crested Lark,' Cutovla. 



Very common everywhere. Of this species Mr. Tristram 

 says, ' Your G. cristata, though not darker than Algerian 

 lowland and marsh specimens, is certainly darker than tho.^e 

 from France and Palestine.' 



87. *Emberiza miliaria (Linn.), * Common Bunting,' Trigueirdo. 



Exceedingly common, and figures in bunches in the mar- 

 ket stalls at Lisbon more than any other species. Mr. 

 Tristram writes of it, — * It is rather darker than continental 

 specimens, more nearly approaching the English.' 



88. *Emberiza cirlus (Linn.), ' Cirl Bunting,' C/«, Cicia. 



Very common. Mr. Tristram's verdict, upon an examina- 

 tion of my specimen, is, that *■ the yellow is extraordinarily 

 deep.' 



89. fEjiBERizA CIA (Linn.), ' Meadow Bunting,' Tvig^ieiro. 



Said to be very common in the northern provinces of 

 Portugal ; but I never met with it in those parts. 



90. jEmberiza schnceniclus (Linn.), 'Reed Bunting.' 



This is a rare bird in Portugal, and very seldom seen. 



[9L Emberiza hortulana (Linn.), ' Ortolan Bunting.' 



Still less common is this species, of which a single 

 specimen only, captured in the suburbs of Coimbra, has 

 been lately added to the Museum.] 



While E. citrinella, our common Yellow Hammer, so 

 abundant in Europe generally, and conjectured to appear in 

 Portugal occasionally, and therefore added to the Portuguese 

 list, is not positively known to have occurred there, and 

 has never been identified in the country. 



92. *Fringilla ccelebs (Linn.), ' ChafEnch,' Tentilli^o. 

 Very common.
