682 Captain P. W. Munn 07i the [Ibis, 



five eggs on 4 May, 1921, built at the foot of a small pine in 

 the woods near the shore among herbage ; and this appears 

 to be the usual situation. 

 Obtained by v. Jordans. 



25. Emberiza cirlus. (^irl Bunting. 



A resident, universally distributed but nowhere plentiful. 



Obtained b^- v. Jordans. 



2G. Emberiza hortulana. Ortolan Bunting. 

 Obtained by v. Jordans. 



27. Emberiza palustris. Reed-Bunting. 



A Reed-Buntinir is common durino- the winter in suitable 

 localities, and a faw remain throuo-hout the vear. Hitherto 

 I had considered them to be typical Reed-Buntings, but 

 Witherby informs me that a male I obtained on 25 March, 

 1921, is a form of JE. pahistris, but is not refei'tible to any 

 known subspecies, and until more specimens are obtained it 

 must remain uncertain what form inhabits the island. 



Von Jordans did not observe it, but includes it in 

 his list on the authority of Barcelo under the name of 

 E. sclioiniclus. 



28. Alauda arvensis. Sky-Lark. 



Common during the winter, and a few probably remain 

 throughout the year. On 20 February, 1920, when on a 

 ship some distance off the north coast of the island, I saw 

 one flying northwards. 



Not observed by v. Jordans, who quotes Barcelo. 



29. Lullula arborea. Wood-Lark. 



First noticed in the middle of April, so probably it is a 

 summer visitor only, l)ut it is not plentiful. 



Not observed by v. Jordans, who quotes Barcelo. 



30. Alauda duponti. Dupont's Lark. 



Von Jordans makes Fome remarks on this species in his 

 list, but there is no record of its occurrence in the island.
