105. Lesser Whitethroat. [Sylvia curruca.) 



I sliot one of this species in Corfu in September 1857. This 

 is the only instance in vyhich it came under my notice in these 

 parts. 



106. SuBALPiNE Warbler. {Sylvia subalpina.) 



A beautiful specimen of this pretty little bird was brought to 

 me by one of my yacht^s crew, who had picked it up close to the 

 lighthouse of Santa Maura, on the 24th of March, 1857. I 

 have occasionally noticed this species in Epirus in February and 

 March. 



107. Black-headed Warbler. {Sylvia melanocejihala.) 

 Very common, and resident in Corfu and Epirus. I have 



found the nest of this species on the citadel rock of Corfu. 



108. Orphean Warbler. {Sylvia orphea.) 

 Occasionally seen in spring, but decidedly not common in 



Corfu. 



109. Garden Warbler. {Sylvia hortensis.) 



I found a nest of this bird, containing eggs, near Khimara in 

 Epirus, in May 1857. I do not remember to have noticed it 

 in these parts on any other occasion. 



110. Willow Wren. {Phylloscopus trochilus.) 



I have occasionally seen this species in winter in the gardens 

 in the vicinity of Corfu. 



111. Chiff-Chaff. {Phylloscopus rufus.) 



Common in Epirus in spring and summer. I have occasion- 

 ally heard it in sunny weather in December. 



112. Wood AVren, {Phylloscopus sibilatrix.) 



I picked up one of this species on the beach near Govino, in 

 the island of Corfu, in March 1857. It is decidedly far from 

 common in Corfu and Epirus. 



113. Southern Willow Wren ? 



1 have often seen, and once or twice killed, a Willow Wren in 

 Epirus in winter, which I believe to be the Hypolais salicaria of 

 Brehm. It certainly does not belong to any of the three pre- 

 ceding species. I always found a few of these birds among the
