ORNITHOLOGICAL NOTES. 545 
(Aeredula caudata), the Nuthatch (Sittw cesta), the Creeper 
(Certhia familiaris). 
The above birds remained from March Ist to April 30th, 
with the exception of the following :—the Green and Grey- 
headed Green Woodpeckers, the Common Wren, the Fire- 
crested Wren, the Siskin, the Bullfinch, the Coal, Marsh, and 
Long-tailed Tits. There came, in addition, on April 3rd the 
Lesser Spotted Woodpecker (Pieus minor), a bird that I had 
never before observed in Bohemia, and which was perfectly 
black from the smoke; on April 19th the Wryneck (ynw 
torquilla) ; after the end of March, the Kestrel (Falco tinnun- 
3 
culus) ; after the middle of April, the Redstart (Rutécilla 
phanicurus), the Black Redstart (2. tithys) ; after the begin- 
ning of March, the Song-Thrush (Turdus musicus) and the 
Redwing (7.2l/acus) , both of which arrived together, but stayed 
a very short time, the Hedge-Sparrow (decentor modularis), 
the Yellow-Hammer (Emberiza citrinella), the Greenfinch 
(Ligurinus chlovis), large flocks of the Goldfinch (Carduelis 
elegans), which only remained for one day, the Serin Finch 
(Serius hortulanus), and the Swallow (Hirundo rustica). 
The Shrikes, the Flycatchers, and our best songsters, the 
Warblers, were still absent, at any rate from the gardens in 
Prague ; but some miles south of the town, by the banks of 
the river Sazawa, which are thickly covered with willow 
bushes, I saw on April 28th a few Great Reed-Warblers 
(Acrocephalus turdoides) and Reed-Warblers (4. arundinaceus) , 
and on the meadows several Whinchats (Pratincola rubetra) 
and one Stonechat (P. rubicola), while the Wheatear (Sazi- 
cola wnanthe) was everywhere flitting about the stony slopes 
of the hills.
