From the 28th January onwards the Blue-headed Yellow 

 Wagtail was tolerably common among the cattle on tlie pas- 

 tures about St. Jean-de-Luz. The Yellow Wagtail was first 

 observed on the lOth of April by the banks of the Iraty river, 

 in close attendance on some grazing ponies. 



45. Anthus pratensis (Linn.). 



46. Anthus trivialis (Linn.). 



The Meadow-Pipit was very common in winter and spring. 

 The Tree-Pipit was obtained on and after the 12th February. 



47. Anthus spipoletta (Linn.). 



The Water-Pipit was occasionally observed by the river- 

 banks in February; but later in the year it became abundant 

 on the hill-tops, and early in May swarms were migrating 

 up the Val-de-Lys, near Luchon, on the way to their moun- 

 tain breeding-grounds. I believe I saw the Rock-Pipit [A. 

 obscurus) on the rocks by St. Jean-de-Luz. 



48. Lanius meridionalis, Temm. 



There is a genuine specimen of the Southern Grey Shrike, 

 shot on the lOth of February, in the Bayonne Museum, but 

 it is, of course, a very rare straggler. 



Lanius excubitor had not arrived before my departure ; at 

 least I did not see it. 



49. Lanius pomeranus, Sparrm. 



The first Woodchat-Shrike was observed in Navarre on the 

 11th of April ; later it is exceedingly common.
