66. Carduelus elegans. 

 Common and resident. 



67. Chrysomitris citrinella. 



Only noticed during the winter^ when they were to be 

 found congregating in flocks with Serin Finches, Linnets, and 

 Goldfinches. 



68. Serinus hortulanus. 



Numerous during winter ; and though all do not seem to 

 remain, numbers breed in the olive-groves. First eggs found 

 on April 10th. 



69. LlGURINUS CHLORIS. 



Not uncommon. 



70. Pyrgita petronia. 



For about a week at the end of December there were several 

 of these birds in the immediate neighbourhood of Ajaccio; but 

 I never saw them afterwards. On the 28th I shot two out of 

 one of my windows ; and all the time they stayed with us they 

 were exceptionally tame. 



71. Passer cisalpinus. 



The commonest bird in the island. 



Though constantly on the look-out for Passer hispaniolensis , 

 I never noticed it. 



72. LiNOTA CANNABINA. 



Common, but most so in the winter. 



73. Emberiza cirlus. 



Common ; but all those seen during winter do not seem to 

 remain to breed.

A few seen at Biguglia on April 30th and May 1st. 



75. Emberiza miliaria. 

 Common and resident, 



76. Emberiza schceniclus.
