List of Birds 



GUADALQUIVER, APRIL AND MAY, 1899. 



In concluding these papers on our trip to the Guadal- 

 quiver, I have thought that a list of the birds which we 

 found would be interesting, and perhaps of some value, to 

 the systematist or to the future traveller in the district. 

 Only those birds which we identified beyond all doubt have 

 been inserted, and dates considered as interesting have 

 been added. Iq noting these dates it must be borne in 

 mind that April 2 was the first date we began collecting, 

 April 4 was the first date in the marismasj and May 19 

 the last. 



The district includes the country within a few miles of 

 the Guadalquiver from Seville to its mouth at San Lucar. 



Note,— J/i the following list an asterisk signifies that the hird loas 

 obtained, and a dagger that the eggs were found.
