Birds from Morocco. 601 



LiGURINUS AURANTIIVENTRIS. 



A few skius of S and ? , from both North and South 

 Marocco. All are of the bright-coloured North African 

 form of Greenfinch. 



Passer italic. 



A specimen obtained at Ras-el-Ain on the 30th June is so 

 like typical examples of this species that I cannot separate it ; 

 at the same time it is possible that it may be a hybrid between 

 P. domedicus and P. salicicola (both of which species occur 

 in South Marocco), although it is not the usual form of 

 hybrid. 



Passer domesticus. 



A few typical skins from Schaf-el-Akab in March, also one 

 from Glaoui in May. Some other skins, showing hybridism 

 between the present species and P. salicicola, from Marocco 

 city, Tameshlot, and Ras-el-Ain. 



Passer salicicola. 



One typical specimen from Schaf-el-Akab, and others, 

 apparently hybrids between the present species and P. domes^ 

 ticus, from the interior and South Marocco. 



Petronia stulta. 



Five skins of S and ? , from Glaoui, in May. 



Fringilla ccelebs. 



Two skins, both of females, from Schaf-el-Akab and Hawara, 

 in March. 



Fringilla spodiogena. 



A large series, ^ and ? , from El Kasar, Marocco city, 

 Tilula, and Ras-el-Ain, between March and July. As com- 

 pared with Tunisian specimens of this species, these Marocco 

 birds are rather darker and more brightly coloured, but I 

 cannot find any distinctive features between them. 



LiNOTA CANNABINA. 



A few skins of J" and ? , from Schaf-el-Akab. 



Rhodopechys aliena Whitaker, Bull. B.O. C. vii. p. xviii. 



Adult S . Glaoui, Great Atlas Mts., Marocco. 



Similar to R. sanrjuinea, but differs from that species in
