in the Eastern Atlas. 359 



are very different from those of this species collected by Mr. 

 Tristram and Capt. Loche. 



114. BuPHUs RALLoiDES. (Squacco Heron.) 



Common in the marsh of Zana, but found in single birds or 

 two or three together, rather than in flocks like the Buff-backed 

 Herons. 



115. Ardetta minuta. (Little Bittern.) 



1 only met with this bird in the marsh of Zana, where it is 

 extremely common. 



116. BoTAURUS STELLARis. (Bittern.) 



A few pairs of Bitterns frequented the marsh of Zana. As 

 far as we could ascertain, they had laid their eggs and hatched 

 their young before we had arrived there. 



117. Nycticorax griseus. (Night Heron.) 



I only observed this bird on the lake of Bizerta, where we 

 found a few sitting about the fence-work made for stopping the 

 fish. 



118. CicoNiA ALBA. (White Stork.) 



Abundant at Bona and the old towns in the Regency of Tunis. 



119. Ibis falcinellus. (Glossy Ibis.) 



I several times saw a Glossy Ibis accompanying a small flock 

 of Little Egrets at Zana. It would appear, from Mr. Tristram's 

 account of them at Lake Halloula, always to show this partiality 

 for Herons, but not to be constant in its attention to one species. 



120. NuMENius TENUiROSTRis. (Slender-billed Curlew.) 

 In the Regency of Tunis, on more than one occasion, I saw 



a flock of these Curlews, and, on an undulating plain near El 

 Djan, succeeded in shooting one. 



121. ToTANUs ocHROPus. (Grccu Sandpiper.) 



While searching for snipe in a small marsh near Sousa, Mr. 

 Simpson shot one of these birds. 



122. ToTANus CALiDRis. (Rcdshauk.) 

 Observed in the same marsh. 



123. Recurvirostra avocetta. (Avocet.) 



We only saw the Avocet at Zana and Djendcli, though we did
