(Enanthe ce. CEnanthe. 1 ? . 



Passes on migration. First seen 22 March, 19J9, and 

 2 April, 1920 ; one struck the Europa lantern 14 April. In 

 autumn many were seen at Gibraltar 17 October ; they had 

 all passed on next day. Two seen near Tarifa on 2 May 

 were probably the Greenland form (^CE. cf.. lencorrhoa), but no 

 specimen was obtained. 



(Enanthe h. hispanica. Black-eared form. 1 c? ; 2 ? . 



First seen 22 March. 



Black-throated form. I S ', - ? • 



First observed 12 March. Both forms bred on the Queen 

 of Spain's Chair and also on some rough ground at El Cobre 

 behind Algeciras. In 1919 their numbers were about equal. 

 In 1920 the black-throated were in the [)r<iportion of about 

 4 to 1 of the black-eared. Autumn migration began early ; 

 birds of the year were seen on the move on 10 August, and 

 again during the month and in September ; the last record 

 was 21 September, when amongst them was a black- 

 throated male. Birds in the bi-own stage of plumage were 

 once seen : on 7 May, 1919 ; they were very wild. 



(Enanthe 1. leucnra. 1 ? . 



Resident in very small numbers. It was observed passing 

 on migration on 20 March. In autumn seen on passage on 

 21 September, and a considerable number on 20 October. A 

 nest found in a rock crevice on the Queen of Spain's Chair 

 on 9 May, 1919, had over 200 stones in its foundation. 

 Another on 12 May next year, was in a hollow in a low cliff 

 and had no stones at all. Both contained eggs. In the 

 latter instance the hollow was so small that there was no 

 room for a breast-work. 



Cisticola c. cisticola. 3 c? ; 1 ? ; 1 juv. 



Breeds abundantly near Algeciras in the wheattields, and 

 after the wheat is cut, in grassy patches. There are man}' 

 late broods : a young bird not fully grown was seen on 

 17 September. In August and September they were 

 common along the river-banks, but departed in early October,
