18. Troglodytes parvulus. 

 Abundant. 



19. MOTACILLA ALBA. 



Numerous everywhere. 



20. MOTACILLA LUGUBRIS. 



Frequently seen on newly-ploughed land, and one obtained 

 for identification. 



21. MOTACILLA SULPHUREA. 



22. BUDYTES FLAVUS. 



Common, and specimens obtained. 



23. Anthus pratensis. 



Only too common. These birds proved a constant source 

 of irritation to me, and I vented my wrath in fervent wishes 

 that Cuckoos might lay their eggs in a// their nests in spring. 

 I hope I am not singular in my dislike of the miserable 

 squeaking little wretches. I shot one out of a small party of 

 four or five on the top of a very high tree near our camp in 

 the Tzelatza valley. 



24. Anthus campestris. 



I obtained two males from Olcese, which he had killed on 

 the " Marshan/'' an open plain near his house, in May 1884. 



25. Pycnonotus barbatus. 



Abundant, and very noisy and inquisitive, in the thick 

 bushes, both in gardens and ^'sotos.'' 



26. Lanius algeriensis. 



Invariably met with wherever there were patches of thick 

 bush affording shelter. They are to be seen a long way oft' 

 as they sit perched on the topmost twigs. 



27. Telephonus erythropterus. 



Only one observed, in some dense cork-scrub, in the Tze- 

 latza valley ; very shy. 



28. Cotile rupestris. 



Seen in considerable numbers in the Laraish valley on two 

 consecutive warm sunny days, but not at any other time or 

 place.
