70. Ardea cinerea. 

 Tolerably numerous. 



71. Ardea bubulcus. 



Very common everywhere. I came across a group of 

 twenty or thirty stick-nests in a thicket in one of the " sotos " 

 in the Bon-Safi valley, which must have belonged to these 

 birds. 



72. Ardea garzetta. 



Only once satisfactorily identified — at Masharalhaddar, 

 where I crept through the rushes to Avithin a few yards of 

 one before it took flight, the black legs and bill being un- 

 mistakable. 



73. BoTAURUS STELLA ris. 



Very common, though more often heard than seen. 



74. ClCONIA ALBA. 



A familiar object in the marshy plains. 



75. Plegadis falcinellus. 



Undoubtedly breeds, or has bred, near Tetuan ; for Olcese 

 has received the eggs from that district. 



76. Phcenicopterus roseus. 



A large gathering, perhaps a thousand, at the lake of 

 Masharalhaddar at the end of December, ranged in lines of 

 fifty or more together in the shallow water, and very shy. 



77. MaRECA PENELOPE. 



In countless numbers at Masharalhaddar. Common also 

 in the Koos river above Laraish. 



78. Dafila acuta. 



Gould and I both identified a small flock of these Ducks 

 at Masharalhaddar, but could not get within shot oC them. 



79. Anas boscas. 



80. Querquedula crecca. 



81. Spatula clypeata. 



Common, especially in tlie Ijaraish valley.
