138 Hon. T. L. Powys 07i Birds 



53. Greenfinch. [Coccothraustes chloris.) 

 Resident and very common in Corfu and Epirus. 



54. Siskin. [Chnjsomitris spinus.) 

 Very abundant in Epirus in winter. 



55. Citron finch. [Fringilla citrinella.) 



Common in Corfu and Epirus in summer. I cannot posi- 

 tively state whether it leaves the island in winter, but it is 

 certainly less numerous than during the summer. 



56. Common Linnet. [Linota cannahina.) 

 Very common, and resident in Corfu and Epirus. 



57. Goldfinch. [Carduelis elegans.) 



Common, and breeds in Corfu. I have not noticed it on the 

 mainland, except in winter ; it is then very common. 



58. Bullfinch. {Pyrrhula vulgaris.) 



A rare winter visitor to Corfu and Epirus. Common in 

 December in Albania Proper, about the mouth of the River 

 Drin, where I observed it feeding on the berries of the Privet. 



59. Common Crossbill. [Loxia curvirostra.) 



I saw a pair of this species in a cage at Corfu, which I was 

 assured had been brought from the pine-forests of the Black 

 Mountain in Cephalonia. It is decidedly a rare bird in Corfu, 

 though the bird-stufFer assured me he had occasionally seen it. 



60. CiRL Bunting. [Ember iz a cirlus.) 

 Resident, but not very abundant, in Corfu. 



61. Ortolan Bunting. [Emberiza hortulana.) 



This Bunting arrives in Corfu in April, and remains to breed. 

 It is rather common. I never observed it in winter. 



62. Foolish Bunting. {Emberiza cia.) 



I noticed this species only once in these parts. This was a 

 single bird, seen near Pagania in January 1857. 



63. Common Bunting. [Emberiza miliaria.) 

 Occurs sparingly in Corfu and Epirus in winter. 



64. Reed Bunting. [Embe?-iza schceniclus.) 



Common in Epirus in winter, but less so than the next 

 species.
