82 SYLVTIDiE. 
1872 they passed in great quantities on the 12th, 13th, 
14th, and 15th of April, the last noticed being on the 26th, 
in the Cork-wood. They never appear to remain and nest. 
80. RuTiciLLA TiTYS (Scop.). The Black Redstart. 
Spanish. Colirojo. 
" This species is the most common Redstart about Tangier, 
remaining throughout the winter among rocks and old 
buildings. They arrive during October, and depart in March. 
The old birds are solitary ; but the immature birds keep to- 
gether. They shake their tails incessantly, and, holding 
their heads erect, are difl&cult to get a shot at " (!) . — Favier. 
The Black Redstart is seen at Gibraltar, as at Tangier, 
arriving in November, and never being seen after March. 
They nest, however, a little way north of San Roque. 
A specimen I killed at Gibraltar had been eating very 
small ants. 
81. RuTiciLLA MoussiERi, Olph-GalHard. Moussier's 
Redstart. 
Under the synonym of " Ruticilla erythrogastra " (! !) — 
a large eastern Redstart — Favier, in his notes, has included 
Moussier's Redstart ; but his description fully identifies it as 
a male R. moussieri. He mentions one killed in 1848. I 
obtained an adult male at Tangier on the 14th of March, 
1872, and saw three others killed in that month in 1874. 
Although seeing a bird is not sufficient evidence to record it 
unless it be actually obtained, I am sure I saw one in 
October close to Tarifa, at the time thinking it was a variety 
of the Stonechat as I passed it by on the road. 
82. Ruticilla wolfii (Brehm). The Blue-throated 
Warbler. 
Spanish. Soldiya. 
" Found near Tangier only on passage, and then very 
rarely. I only obtained them four times — in 1839, 1844, 
1866, and 1867. They cross to Europe in February and 
March, returning in October." — Favier.
