208 Mr. H. Saunders 07t the Birds of Sou them Spain. 



72. Panurus harbatus. 



Observed in the Albufera of Valencia in May, 1870. 



73. ACREDULA CAUDATA. 



I noticed this species at Aranjuez in May ; and it is found in 

 Andalucia in winter. 



74. PaRUS CiERULEUS. 



Tolerably abundant. I did not identify Parus ultramarinus 

 of North Africa, but think it not impossible that it may some- 

 times occui'. 



75. Parus MAJOR. "Carbonero,'' " Cerrajillo." 

 Resident, and the most numerous of the family. Specimens 



from Andalucia are somewhat smaller and brighter in colour 

 than the average specimens from more northern Europe. 



7Q. Parus ater, 1 



„r, r» r " Herrerillo." 



77. Parus palustris, J 



Both these species were found near Granada and Cordova in 

 spring. 



78. SiTTA C^SIA. 



A very local species, Granada, where it was common enough, 

 being the only place where it came under my notice. 



79. SiTTA SYRIACA. 



When searching for the breeding-place of Cotyle rupestris 

 near Archena, I saw both this bird and its unmistakable nest ; 

 but it was perfectly impossible to get near its haunts with a 

 gun, and it would not come down to me. With great difficulty, 

 and after a most agonizing climb over the sharpest of rocks, I 

 got within a few yards of the nest ; but there was a chasm be- 

 tween me and the desired prize, which nothing without wings 

 could cross. 



80. TiCHODROMA MURARIA. 



Found in Sierra Nevada, and probably in some other ranges. 



81. Certhia FAMiLiARis. " Trcpatroucos,^' " Arancro." 

 Resident at Granada, and, indeed, wherever there is any old 



timber.
