Mr. C. F. Tyrwhitt Drake un the Birds of Morocco. 153 



Dove {Twtur vulgaris), which here as well as in the " Argau '' 

 forest, near Mogador, literally swarms. 



The following is a list of the birds which I had not observed 

 on my former visit to the country : — 



AsTUR PALUMBARius (Linn.). I saw a specimen shot in the 

 mountains near Tetuan in December ; and in May I saw a pair 

 near Cape Spartel. 



Melterax polyzonus, Riipp. An example of this bird was 

 shot in the neighbourhood of Mogador, which the Arabs said 

 was the first they had seen of the kind. I believe this is by far 

 the most northern locality whence this species has ever before 

 been obtained. The specimen is now in the Museum of the 

 University of Cambridge. 



Crateropus fulvus (Desf.). Between Morocco and Moga- 

 dor, as above mentioned. 



RuTiciLLA TiTHYs (Scop.). I saw a few at Tetuan late in 

 November. 



Carpodacus githagineus (Temm.). At Morocco and 

 Mogador, as before mentioned. 



Galerita macrorhyncha, Tristram. Found on the upland 

 plains towards the city of Morocco. A specimen I brought 

 home has been compared by Mr. Tristram with the type of the 

 species, first described by him in 'The Ibis ^ for 1859 (p. 57); 

 and he says it is darker and more rufous than any he obtained 

 in Algeria. It is now in the Cambridge Museum. 



Otocorys bilopha (Temm.). Found near Rabat and Dar- 

 el-baida. 



TuRTUR RisoRius (Linn.). At Morocco, as above mentioned. 



TuRTUR vulgaris, Eyton. Very common, as I have before 

 said, on the west coast ; on my return to Tangier in May I found 

 it there as a summer visitant. 



Francolinus ? At Rabat, as described above. 



FuLiCA CRiSTATA, Gmcl. Plentiful at the lake of Ras-dowra. 



Gallinago major (Gmel.). In one instance at Dar-el-baida, 

 in another at Tangier. In March.
