4-0 Mr. J. Whitehead's Ornithological 



97. Rock-Sparrow. Petronia stulta. 



Scarce and resident. Very few seen on the west coast, but 

 one or two small flocks noticed on the east during the winter. 

 I saw a few pairs, evidently nesting, in the high mountains at 

 the end of May. 



98. Chaffinxh. Fringilla Calebs. 



Very common and resident. Found first eggs 11th May. 



99. Linnet. Linota cannabina. 



Common during the winter ; very few remain to nest. I 

 watched a pair building their nest in a high valley on 17th 

 March. 



100. Common-Crossbill. Loxia ciirvirostra. 



Fairly common in the pine-forests. In May I noticed a 

 few families of six or seven birds flying about ; though I 

 shot several, none had the bright-red plumage. 



101. Common Bunting. Emberiza miliaria. 

 Fairly common and resident. 



102. CiRL Bunting. Emberiza cirlus. 



Common in the plains during the winter. In the nesting- 

 season the greater number retire to the higher elevations. 

 Found a nest with young birds and one with four fresh eggs 

 on 6th of June. 



103. Reed-Bunting. Emberiza schceniclus. 

 Only a few seen in the winter months. 



104. Sky-Lark. Alauda arvensis. 



Not nearly so common as the Wood-Lark ; none seen after 

 March. 



105. Wood-Lark. Alauda arborea. 



Seen in flocks during the winter. I found numbers of 

 nests after 13th May. 



106. Short-toed Lark. Calandrella brachydactyla. 

 Only a few seen on the cast, but on 24tli June in num- 

 bers on the Avest coast. I found two eggs on that date.
