396 Mr. H. Saunders on the 



I fear all further search is useless. This year, too (1871), I 

 have no news. 



260. Cygnus olor. " Cisne.^' 



The only instance in which I can identify this species is in 

 the museum of Valencia. 



261. Cygnus musicus 



is in the museum of Palma de ^Majorca. Wild Swans are 

 obtained in severe winters in the " marisma ;" but I cannot say 

 to which species they belong. 



262. Anser cinereus,^ 



Y "Ganso bravo ;" Valencian, " Oca." 



263. Anser segetum. J 



Both these species are found during the winter; and I have 

 seen them in the markets. 



264. Bernicla leucopsis. 



I saw one specimen at Seville, shot in the " marisma." 



265. Tadorna rutila. " Pato-tarro." 



Several specimens in the museums of Jerez and Seville, and 

 one in my own collection. I was assured that it bred near 

 San Lucar. 



266. Tadorna vulpanser. '' Pato-tarro." 



This is also found, in much greater abundance than the last, 

 so that the eggs shown to me may belong to either species. 



267. Rhynchaspis clypeata. '^ Pato cuchareta." 



Not uncommon in the "marisma," where, I think, it breeds. 



268. Anas querquedula. 

 Occurs in winter. 



269. Anas MARMORATA. " Pato jaspeado." 



Abundant in the '' marisma" throughout the year, and breeds 

 at Santa Olaya. 



270. Anas strepera. 



Abundant in winter and up to April. Breeds at Santa 

 Olaya. 



271. Anas CRECCA. " Patito," " Cerceta." 

 Common in winter.
