68 Mr. J. 13ackliou!se's Observations 



4. TuRDus PILARIS (Liuii,). Fieldfare. 



5. TuRDUS MERULA (Liiin.). Blackbird. 

 Both common everywhere. 



6. TuRDUs TORQUATUS (Liiiii.). Ring Ouzel. 



My only notice of this bird is from Vernet-les-Bains, where 

 here is a specimen in the local collection before referred to. 



7. MoNTicoLA CYANUs (Linn.). Blue Rock Thrush. 



One in Perpignan market, and a bird, probably of this 

 species, was heard singing in a rugged mountain-gorge south 

 of Aries (Tech valley). (See ' Ibis/ 1884, p. 369.) 



8. CiNCLUs AQUATicus (Bcchst.). Dipper. 



9. CiNCLUs ALBicoLLis (Vieill.). Pale-backed Dipper. 

 On most streams in the neighbourhood of Vernet and on 



the Tech river Dij>pers were noticed, in the former locality 

 in very considerable numbers. Unfortunately, however, 

 not a single specimen fell to my gun, so that nothing definite 

 can be said as to the species. Probably both occur in the 

 Department. 



Lacroix says that Cinclus aquaticus inhabits the mountain- 

 regions in summer, and the plains in winter, but the writer 

 never observed a single example in the districts of the low 

 country visited by him. 



10. Saxicola leucura (Gmel.). Black Chat. 

 Met with once only in Perpignan market, 



11. Pratincola rubicola (Linn.). Stonechat. 



12. RuTiciLLA TiTYs (Scop.). Black Redstart. 

 One old male bird exposed for sale in Perpignan. 



13. Erithacus rubecula (Linn.). Robin. 

 Abundant everywhere. 



14. Sylvia atricapilla (Linn.). Blackcap. 



Common in Perpignan market and one shot also in the 

 neighbourhood of Pradcs, west of Perpignan. 



15. Sylvia melanocephala (Gm.). Sardinian Warbler. 

 Once seen between Amelie and Aries ; another the writer 



watched for some time between Perpignan and the sea. In
