()00 Captain P. W. Munn on the [Ibis, 



One found its way into a lobster-pot lying on the qnay at 

 Puerto Alcudia, and was captured. 



These birds are known to the natives as "birds of the snow/' 

 because in cold weather they often come into the houses. 



Von Jordans obtained .s})ccimens of the three above-named 

 species. 



68. Phylloscopus bonelli. Bonelli^s Warbler. 



Included in y. Jordans' list on the authority of Homeyer 

 and Barcelo. 



69. Cisticola c. cisticola. Fantail Warbler. 



A common resident species, very plentiful in winter l)ut 

 not quite so abundant during the summer. They commence 

 nesting at the end of March and beginning of April, and 

 the nests, carefully concealed among grass, samphire, or 

 spear grass, are deep pockets of cobwebs, down, etc., like 

 the web of some insect. 



I have found two types of egg — one pure white, the other 

 pale blue. The Majorcan name for this bird is " Ooyec de 

 Bau," meaning "eye of an ox.'' 



Obtained by v. Jordans. 



70. Turdus viscivorus. Missel-Thrush. 



Not uncommon during the winter, frequenting the old 

 olive orchards and scattered trees on the hillsides. 

 Not ol)served by v. Jordans, who quotes Barcelo. 



71. Turdus philomeliis. Song-Thrush. 



Very abundant during the winter and universally distri- 

 buted, but after the beginning of A})ril yevy few are left in 

 the district, and apparently none remain to breed. Great 

 numbers are killed for food and sold in the markets, with 

 Redwinus and Blackbirds and a few Fieldfares and Ring- 

 Ouzels, and an occasional Blue Rock-Thrush. 



Von Jordans noticed a specimen in May in Cabrera. 



72. Turdus musicus. Redwing. 



Plentiful during the winter, and, like the Fieldfares, they 

 frequent the old olive orchards and trees on the scrub- 

 covered hillsides.
