FULICA CRISTATA, Gmelin. 
§ 3171. Zhree—Tangier. From M. Favier, through Mr. 
Williams, 1847. 
[Of this species M. Favier, in his manuscript volume on the Birds of 
Tangier (kindly given by Colonel Irby to the Cambridge Museum), says that 
it breeds in that neighbourhood, where it is much more numerous than 
Fulica atra, with which it constantly consorts and sometimes pairs. He 
describes, evidently from his own observation, its mode of nesting and eggs, 
which seem not to differ from those of its congener. These specimens were 
labeiled by him ‘ Fulica carrongulata’’—an obvious misspelling of earun- 
culata, by which trivial name (as Canon Tristram has pointed out to me) 
the species was noticed by Mr. G. W. H. Drummond-Hay ' (Proc. Zool. Soc. 
1840, p. 155), only by accident referred to the genus 7ringa. It is also the 
Foulque caronculée of M. Barthélemy, who was the first to record it as a 
European bird (Rev. Zool., Oct. 1841, p. 307), though speedily followed by 
Lonaparte (Fauna Ital. i. Uccelli, Introd. p. 1), who without citing 
Barthélemy’s note repeated its substance, adding instances of the bird’s 
occurrence in Liguria and Sardinia, on the authority of the Marchese 
Carlo Durazzo. |

[Mr. Wolley has mentioned (supra, vol. i. pp. 1,2) M. Favier’s having been 
emptoyed by Mr. Edward Drummond-Hay, the former British Consul at Tangier. 
Mr. 
G.W.H, Drummond-Hay, his son I believe, gives the Arabic name of the species 
as “ Ll Gor,” which seems to identify his 7. carunculata with F. cristata—Ep.]
