230 lion. T. L. Towys 07i Birds 



95. Crested Lark. [Galerida cristata.) 



Very common in all seasons in Corfu and Epirus. 



96. Calandra Lark. (Alauda calandra.) 



A few of this species are to be observed in summer in Corfu, 

 where they breed. I have never observed this bird on the main- 

 land. 



97. Short-toed Lark. {Alauda brachydactyla.) 

 Common in winter in Corfu and Epirus. 



98. White-necked Flycatcher. {Muscicapa albicollis.) 



I observed several of these birds in May 1857 near Pelleka, in 

 the island of Corfu. 



99. Spotted Flycatcher. [Muscicapa grisola.) 

 Common in summer in Corfu and Epirus. 



100. Thrush Warbler. [Sijlvia turdoides.) 

 Common, and resident in Corfu and Epirus. 



101. Rufous Sedge Warbler. {Sylvia galactodes.) 



I twice observed this species in these parts ; once in the island 

 of Corfu, on which occasion a friend killed a fine specimen ; and 

 a few weeks afterwards near Kataito, in Epirus, vvhere I watched 

 a pair for some time, but refrained from shooting them, as my 

 gun was loaded with large shot. 



102. Nightingale. {Sylvia luscinia.) 



Very common in Corfu and all parts of the mainland that 1 

 have visited during the summer; at Delvino especially, in May 

 1857, we could hardly sleep for the multitude of Nightingales 

 that were singing on the banks of a little stream that ran under 

 the windows of the house in which we lodged. 



103. Olive-grove Warbler. {Sylvia olivetorum.) 



I shot one of this species near Corfu in April 1857, and have 

 seen the skin of another from Zante, 



104. Common Whitethroat. {Sylvia cinerea.) 



I have occasionally observed this bird in Corfu in September 

 and October.
