190 Mr. H. F. Witherby on 



at H. R'Hira. Young had just flown from one nest at 

 H. Meskoutine on April 6th, while on the same date another 

 contained fresh eggs. 



Anthus pratensis (L.).

 There were a few Meadow-Pipits at H. Meskoutine, but 

 their breeding-organs were undeveloped. 



Anthus trivialis (L.).

The Tree- Pipit was more common than the preceding 

 species, and the example shot on April 17th had the testes 

 much swollen, so that the bird probably nests in Algeria, 

 although I do not think that it has yet been recorded as 

 doing so. 



Pycnonotus barbatus (Desf.). 

 ? ad. H. Meskoutine, March 22. 



The Dusky Bulbul was everywhere common. Its sociable 

 habits and playfulness make it an amusing bird to watch, 

 while its beautiful notes are a delight to the ear.

I cannot find any constant differences in the Red-headed 

 Shrikes from Algeria and those from Europe. The specimen 

 shot on April 2nd was the first seen by us in Northern Algeria. 



MUSCICAPA GRISOLA L. 



c? ad. H. R'Hira, May 5. 



The Spotted Flycatcher was first noticed at H. R'Hira at 

 the end of April, after which it was common and evidently 

 breeding. 



MUSCICAPA ATRICAPJLLA L. 



c? ad. H. R'Hira, April 14. 



This specimen agrees exactly with others from Europe.
