126. Parnopia locustella. 



Is occasionally to be seen, and frequently to be heard, in the 

 palmetto and other scrub near Malaga. It remains throughout 

 the winter. 



127. PSEUDOLUSCINIA LUSCINIOIDES. 



I once recognized this species in the marshes of the Guadal- 

 quivir in April, but was unable to discover its nest in any part 

 of Spain, though it doubtless breeds. 



128. Calamoherpe arundinacea. 



I have obtained this species both in winter and spring ; and 

 eggs have been sent to me from Malaga which I can attribute 

 to no other species. 



129. Calamoherpe palustris. 



I shot one of a pair, which evidently intended to nest, in the 

 marshy bottoms of the Tagus, near Araujuez, in May 1870. 



130. Calamoherpe TURDOiDES. " Carrisalero.^' 

 Abundant in every reed-bed, where it breeds. 



131. MoTACiLLA alba. " Lavandcra," " Pispita.'^ 



Very abundant in autumn and winter. On the 2nd of March 

 the newly turned furrows around Seville were absolutely piebald 

 with them ; but in April not one was to be seen, they having 

 retired northward to breed. 



132. MOTACILLA YARRELLI. 



On the 3rd of March, 1868, I found a very dark male of this 

 species in the Seville market ; and although in a somewhat de- 

 composed state, I managed to make it into a tolerable skin. 

 This is the only occasion on which I observed it. 



133. MoTACiLLA BOARULA. " Pispita.^' 



Was often observed at Malaga in winter ; and in the Sierra 

 Nevada and other ranges it is abundant along the mountain- 

 torrents. 



134. BuDYTES FLAvus. " Pispita amarilla.^' 



Abundant. I obtained several nests with parent birds in 

 the Seville and Mfilaga districts. It appears to belong to the 

 variety cinereocapilla of Savi.
