it nesting in Navarre, at an elevation of 3000 feet, on the 

 11th of April. 



2. TuBDUs Musicus, Linn. 



The Song-Thrush is abundant on its migration in Feb- 

 ruary and March, and I have seen eggs taken in the Basque 

 Provinces ; but my impression is that only a few remain to 

 breed. 



3. TuRDUs iLiAcus, Liuu. 



The Redwing was numerous in March about St. Jean- 

 de-Luz. 



4. TuRDUs PILARIS, Liuu. 



The Fieldfare is of rare or irregular occurrence in the 

 western districts, where I only saw it once ; more abundant 

 on passage towards the centre. Philippe and others assert 

 that a few pairs remain to breed in the higher woods. 



In the Museum at Bayonne there is an example of White's 

 Thrush, Oreocincla varia, shot in the district in 1871. 



5. TuRDUS MERULA, LiuU. 



The Blackbird is a resident species, its numbers being aug- 

 mented during migration. 



6. TuRDUS TORQUATUS, LiuU. 



The Ring-Ouzel was abundant in March about Argeles, 

 where it is known as the '^ Pic Mars.'' I also saw it and 

 heard it near Roncesvalles in April, so it was doubtless breed- 

 ing there. 



7. MoNTicoLA SAXATiLis (Liun.). 



The Rock-Thrush is tolerably common in the mountains 

 from April to September, and nests close to Bagneres-de- 

 Bigorre, where I observed it early in May 1879. 



8. MoNTicoLA cYANus (Linn.). 



The Blue Rock-Thrush was observed .by me daily in the 

 warm dry Catalonian Pyrenees in November 1876, so that it 

 is probably resident there. In the colder districts it arrives 

 in April, and in the Basque Provmces I did not see it 

 at all.
