Birds from Marocco. 595 



having omitted to make any field-notes, little can be recorded 

 respecting the birds beyond the bare label data, which 

 fortunately, however, are most carefully noted in every 

 instance. 



In conclusion, it oidy remains for me to say that great 

 credit is due to Mr. Dodson for the energy and perseverance 

 displayed by him in overcoming the many difficulties which 

 beset the European traveller in fanatical and little-explored 

 countries, among which Marocco, although so near civiliza- 

 tion, must still be classed.
