618 NOTES FROM THE SOUTH. 
FRINGILLA CZLEBS. Chaffinch. 
When I arrived at Lacroma I found great flocks of these 
finches in the olive-yards and orchards of the island, and they 
remained until the end of March in larger or smaller numbers, 
just as they had happened to come in on migration. After 
that time I only saw solitary individuals ; in April none at all. 
CANNABINA LINOTA. Linnet. 
The first flock was observed on Lacroma at the end of 
March ; they kept to the bushy parts of the island. I subse-

Linnet everywhere on the mainland of Dalmatia and the 
Herzegovina, in the little fields, the gardens, and among the

JHRYSOMITRIS SPINUS. Siskin. 
Seen on Lacroma from the beginning to the end of March 
in large flocks, but on the mainland rarely. 
CARDUELIS ELEGANS. Goldfinch. 
Appeared towards the end of March in all suitable places

PASSER DOMESTICUS. Common Sparrow. 
Very rare both on Lacroma and the mainland. 
PASSER MONTANUS. Tree-Sparrow.

fortunately so shy that I could not quite make out what they
