628 NOTES FROM THE SOUTH. 
PRATINCOLA RUBICOLA. Stonechat. 
Seen travelling in company with the preceding species after 
the middle of April, and found scattered through Northern 
Dalmatia at the end of that month. 
SAXICOLA CENANTHE. Wheatear. 
In Lacroma I observed the Wheatear almost daily from 
March 10th up to the time of my departure on April 19th. 
After storms there were whole flocks of them ; in fine weather 
they were less abundant, and on the mainland much rarer. 
SAXICOLA ISABELLINA. Isabelline Chat. 
I saw solitary birds of this species at Lacroma in the begin- 
ning of April, and later on observed it almost daily in larger 
or smaller numbers. On the mainland between Ragusa and 
Trebinje I saw a great many, all paired. 
MonticonLa sAXATILIS. Rock-Thrush. 
Two were seen on April 13th in the mountains between 
Ragusa and Trebinje ; after that often on the mainland, but 
always at the same spots and in small numbers. 
MontTicoLa CYANEA. Blue Rock-Thrush. 
I saw the first bird of this species on the walls of Ragusa in 
the latter part of March, and soon afterwards observed a pair 
on the cliffs of Lacroma. During April fresh couples kept 
taking up their residence both on the island and the mainland, 
and were already in full song. North of Ragusa I only found 
them at an old monastery on the island of Meleda. 
Turpus musicus. Song-Thrush. 
On March 10th, and for several days afterwards, I saw 
flocks of these birds at Lacroma, but later on only scattered 
individuals.
