*104. Accentor collaris (Scop.). Havasi Csalogdny 

 (Mountain- Nightingale) . 



Not uncommon among the hills, among loose stones and 

 grassy slopes. Danford met with them in September, at an 

 elevation of about 6000 feet, in the mountains near Hatzeg. 

 They often descend to the low country, and, according to 

 Bieltz, were to be found every year in companies of twenty to 

 thirty on the castle-hill at Deva, from the end of December 

 up to the middle of January. 



*105. Accentor MODULARis (L.)- Bdjdalu zener. 



Common, according to some authorities, Avhile others say it 

 is only to be met with in the mountain- woods, and that but 

 rarely. Herr Csato says it is to be found in the valley of the 

 Strell at tbe end of autumn and the beginning of May. It 

 ascends to an elevation of 5500 to 7000 feet, wbere it has 

 been found by HH. Csato and Buda Adam on the Betjezat. 

 We saw none during our visit ; but Danford has since met 

 with it among gardens near Hatzeg, during October of the 

 present year. 



^106. Sylvia nisoria (Bechst) . Kukuk Fiilemile (Cuckoo 

 Nightingale.) 



Well distributed and not rare. We met with it at Zah and 

 Grorgeny, both in the old woods and among small bushes, but 

 only procui'ed specimens of immature birds. It also occurs 

 in the Strell valley, nesting at Buss. 



107. Sylvia salicaria (L.). Fattyu Fiilemile (Bastard 

 Nightingale) . 



Not uncommon in gardens and bushy ground, and observed 

 on the Betjezat by HH. Csato and Buda Adam.

 and procured a specimen in the wood near Zah. It was also 

 observed on the Betjezat by HH. Csato and Buda Adam.
