they frequent the liarboiir of Alciulia, as well as the small

139. Pelecanus onocrotalus. AVliite Pelican. 



Von Jordans quotes a record of its occurrence in the 

 Albufera in 1773. 



140. Anser anser. Grey Lag-Goose. 



A rare winter visitor. I saw one on the lagoons near 

 Puerto Alcudia on 19 February, 1921, and heaid a wild 

 Goose of some sort passing over the Albufera on 28 February, 

 1920.

Von Jordans quotes a record of Barcelo's of its occurrence

143. Anas platyrhyncha. Wild Duck, 



Common and resident. During the winter large flocks 

 frequent the Albufera and adjacent lagoons as well as the 

 Albuferete, and I have seen miles of Duck in Alcudia and 

 Pollensa Bays during calm weather. The majority depart 

 in early spring, but a considerable number remain to nest in 

 the marshes and pine-woods near the shore. Jn March and 

 April I have found their nests in the pine-woods in thickets 

 of heather, myrtle, butcher^s broom, etc. ; but they are nmch 

 sought after by the natives, who, if possible, kill the Duck 

 and take her eggs. The eggs are rather smaller than British 

 specimens.
