from Morocco and the Great Atlas. 207 



17. Sylvia conspicillata. Spectacled Warbler. 



I only noticed this Warbler to be common in one district 

 in the foot-hills of the Atlas. 



18. Sylvia melanocephala. Sardinian Warbler. 

 Almost ubiquitous. 



19. Sylvia atricapilla. Blackcap. 

 Occasionally seen in the Atlas. 



20. Hypolais polyglotta. Icterine Warbler. 

 1 saw one example in the Atlas. 



21. Aedon galactodes. 



Exceedingly common, but not ascending into the mountains. 



22. Argya fulva. Algerian Bush-Warbler. 

 I only saw one party. 



23. Parus major. Great Tit. 



Common in the mountains, but I did not see many indi- 

 viduals above the limit of the olive. 



24. Parus ultramarinus. Ultramarine Tit. 

 Fairly common. I saw it up to 7000 feet. 



25. Parus atlas. (Plate VI.) 



Parus atlas Meade- Waldo, Bull. B. O. C. xii. p. 27. 



Adult male and female. Most nearly allied to Parus 

 michaloivskii Bogd., from the Caucasus, but differs chiefly in 

 having the black of the fore-neck extending over the sides of 

 the chest and (in the freshly-moulted bird) conspicuously 

 spangled with white, with the sides of the belly and flanks 

 dark smoky buff instead of pale buff.

Hub. Atlas Mountains, Morocco (July 8th, 1901). 

 The Atlas Coal-Tit abounds throughout the moister woods 

 of the Atlas ; it ascends as high as the limit of trees or 

 scrub. It occurred in family-parties, with fully fledged young, 

 in July. The old birds were in more or less heavy moult, 

 si) that it was impossible to procure really good specimens.
