620 NOTES FROM THE SOUTH. 
GALERITA CRISTATA. Crested Lark. 
One of the commonest roadside birds in Dalmatia, even 
high up in the mountains, and still more abundant in the 
Herzegovina. Apparently somewhat paler in plumage than 
the Crested Lark of Austria. 
CoRYS ARBOREA. Wood-Lark. 
On March 13th, after a very stormy night, two very tired 
birds of this species remained on a little meadow in front of

already beginning to whistle a little. 
PyRRHOCORAX ALPINUS. Alpine Chough. 
On cool days during the end of March and the beginning 
of April I saw this bird in large flocks not far from the road 
between Ragusa and Trebinje, and on April 25th I found

CoRVUS CORAX. Raven. 
Very common in Istria and Dalmatia, on the mainland as

of the most abundant birds. On March 31st two old Ravens 
with their three young ones came to a carcass that I had laid 
out for vultures not far from Trebinje. The young ones flew
