tamarisks at the mouth of the Kataito river in Epirus, in De- 

 cember and January. 



114. Aquatic Warbler. [Calamodyta aquatica.) 



This species is to be found in considerable numbers, for a few 

 days about the beginning of May, on the banks of a reedy pond 

 near Govino, about seven miles from Corfu. I never noticed it 

 in any other locality, either in Corfu or on the mainland ; but 

 from the 2nd and 3rd till the 8th or 10th of May, 1857 and 

 1858, in the above-mentioned spot, it was very abundant. I 

 could not observe a single individual after the 10th instant in 

 either year, and searched in vain for their nest. This species is 

 very common at Nice in August and September. 



115. Cetti^s Warbler. {Calamodyta cetti.) 



This species occurs sparingly in Corfu in April. I do not 

 think that it remains to breed. 



116. Fantail Warbler. [Calamodyta cisticola.) 

 Very common, and resident in Corfu and Epirus. 



117. Reed Warbler. [Calamodyta st7'epera.) 

 Common in winter in Epirus and Acarnania. 



118. Common Wren. [Troglodytes europaus.) 

 Common, and resident in Epirus. I have not noticed it in the 



island of Corfu, except during the winter. 



119. Syrian Nuthatch. [Sitta syriaca.) 



Common in certain suitable localities in Epirus, particularly 

 amongst the stony and precipitous hills near Santa Quaranta, 

 where I have frequently observed it in small parties of five or six, 

 flitting about and busily examining the holes and crevices of the 

 rocks. It is a lively and restless bird, and has a note entirely 

 different from that of the Common Nuthatch [Sitta ctesia). I 

 never observed this bird to perch on a tree or shrub, but almost 

 invariably found them on the most exposed and barren hill- 

 sides. 



120. Great Titmouse. [Parus major.) 

 Occasionally seen in Corfu and Epirus in winter. 



121. Marsh Titmouse. [Parus palustr is.) 

 Common, and I believe resident in Epirus.
