in the Eastern Pyrenees. 69 



both cases these birds frequented small isolated thorn bushes 

 on dry banks. Others appeared for sale in the market. 



16. Melizophilus UNDAius (Bodd.). Dartford Warbler. 

 A bird, which was doubtless of this species, seen in the 



neighbourhood of Salses, a small village lying to the north 

 of Perpignan, in close proximity to a large reedy marsh, 

 which opens out into a lagoon nearer to the Mediterranean. 



1 7. Regulus cristatus (Koch) . Goldcrest. 



18. Regulus ignicapillus (C. L. Brehm). Firecrest. 

 These two species appeared to abound in both the valleys. 



A specimen of R. ignicapillus was brought to me at Vernet. 



19. Phylloscopus trochilus (Linn.). Willow Wren. 

 In Perpignan market. 



20. Accentor modularis (Linn.). Hedge Sparrow. 

 Fairly common in the mountain regions. 



21. AcREDULA ROSEA (Blytli). British Long-tailed Tit- 

 mouse. 



This species was very abundant in the vicinity of Vernet- 

 les-Bains. Out of several family parties three or four speci- 

 mens were obtained for identification. All these appear to 

 be true A. rosea — i. e., with distinctly vinous-coloured and 

 not grey scapulars. Not a single example of Acredula irbyi 

 came under the writer^s observation in the Department; 

 and while writing upon this subject, it may be well to state 

 that one of the two birds shot in the Central Pyrenees and 

 recorded as A. irbyi (' Zoologist,^ 1884, p. 20) is probably 

 also referable to the English form A. I'osea. 



22. Parus major (Linn.) . Great Titmouse. 

 The most abundant species of Titmouse met with. 



23. Parus ater (Linn.). European Cole Titmouse. 

 Noticed once only, in a small wood near to Amelie-les- 



Bains. Had the extensive forests lying round Mont Louis 

 been examined, this species would doubtless have been met 

 with more frequently.
