[<^ 1490. Seven. — TenerifFe, Canary Islands. From Senor 

 Gomez, through Mr. Dresser, 1889. 



Out of eight, sent as those of Erithacus supo'bus, Konig (Journ. fiir Orn. 

 1889, p. 183; 1890, p. 383, Taf. iii.), which they doubtless are; but Mr. 

 Dresser (B. Eur. Suppl. p. 48) does not admit it to be a good species, stating 

 that all which can be said is that, as a rule, the " Tenerift'e Redbreast has the 

 breast more richly coloured than the average European bird."] 



{} 1491. Five.— V'dhwh, Canary Islands, May, 1893. From 

 Mr. S. B. Wilson. 



The Redbreast of La Palma is admittedly indistinguishable from U. rubecula.']
