Notes from Morocco. 245 



29. Carduelis elegans. 



Very abundant, in flocks^ on the plains. . 



30. Serinus hortulanus. 



Flocks of this bird met with in the Tzelatza valley. 



31. COCCOTHRAUSTES VULGARIS. 



Undoubtedly rare in Morocco. Olcese had one skin, now 

 in my possession, obtained recently near Tangier. It is 

 somewhat strange that so few should occur here, while the 

 bird is so common across the Straits in Spain. 



32. Passer domesticus. 

 Common. 



33. Fringilla celebs. 



Not obtained by Mr. Tyrwhitt-Drake or Col. Irby. I 

 found them tolerably numerous in one place in the Tzelatza 

 valley and obtained specimens, being rather surprised to 

 hear their familiar pink-pink there. Olcese obtained a male 

 near Tangier lately, now in my collection. 



34<. Fringilla spodiogena. 



Common everywhere, their note, tzak-tzak-tzak, being very 

 striking. 



35. LiNOTA cannabina. 

 Not uncommon. 



36. Emberiza miliaria. 

 In flocks on all the plains. 



37. Emberiza schoeniclus. 



Numerous at the lake of Masharalhaddar, in the rushes 

 near the water, where I obtained several specimens. 



38. Stubnus vulgaris. 



39. StURNUS UNICOLOR. 



Common. 



40. Pyrbhocorax graculus. 



Olcese recently obtained a number from Tetuan. Not ob- 

 served by myself.
