NOTES FROM THE SOUTH. 619 
were. I took them, however, for Italian Sparrows (Passer 
italicus). 
LiguRINUs CHLORIS. Greenfinch. 
In the middle of March small flocks appeared on Lacroma 
and joined the Chaffinches. In April I only saw scattered 
pairs. 
EIMBERIZA MILIARIA. Corn-Bunting. 
On April 22nd I saw a great many about the meadows and 
fields along the shore of the great lake of Vrana, south of 
Zara. 
HUsPIZA MELANOCEPHALA. Black-headed Bunting. 
First observed at Lacroma in large flocks on March 14th. 
A few days later they were everywhere to be met with singly 
or in pairs among the gardens and olive-trees both of the 
mainland and the island. I saw at least two other species of 
Buntings among the bushes in the Herzegovina, but could not 
quite identify them. 
SERINUS HORTULANUS. Serin Finch. 
Appeared on the island in the middle of March. I saw 
rather large flocks for a few days, after! which they entirely 
disappeared. 
MELANOCORYPHA CALANDRA. Calandra Lark. 
I observed this lark on April 25rd among the fields near 
Nona, a village on the sea-coast north of Zara. There it was 
very plentiful and had already paired. 
CALANDRELLA BRACHYDACTYLA. Short-toed Lark. 
Found on April 22nd and 28rd both north and south of 
Zara.
