1 921.] Birds of Alcud'ia^ Majorcd. 680 



distiijoiiisbed, especially when they are pairing early in the 

 spring. 



It is remarkable that this species has not been before 

 recorded from Majorca, considering its abundance in suitable 

 localities. 



61. Acrocephalus arundinaceus. Great Reed-Warbler. 

 Von Jordans quotes Homeyer and Barcelo for the 



occurrence of this species. 



62. Acrocephalus schcenobaenus. Sedgc-Warbler. 

 Occurs in the Albufera, but I did not notice any before 



the middle of March. 



63. Acrocephalus aquaticus. Aquatic Warbler. 



Noted as occurring in the Albufera during the winter, but 

 I have no record of any seen in the summer. 



64. Lusciniola m. inelanopogon. Moustached Warbler. 



A plentiful resident in the Albufera, where its song is 

 heard on all sides, commencing with a loud note, very like a 

 Redshank's, and continuing with a song not unlike a Sedge- 

 Warbler's. 



This species has not before been recorded from Majorca. 

 Witherby, who has examined examples obtained by me, 

 states that they do not dili'er from the typical form. 



65. Phylloscopus trochilus. Willow- Warbler. 

 ^^. Phylloscopus sibilatrix. \Vood- Warbler. 



Both species noted during the winter^ but all leave the 

 district in the spring. 



67. Phylloscopus collybita. Chiffchaff. 



CUiiffchaffs swarm in the district during the winter — in 

 the orchards, among the cabbage crops, in the pine-woods ; 

 and on the sunny outskirts of the pine-woods on the shore 

 they flit about in small parties. All, however, leave the 

 district at the befjinninfr of March.
