from Morocco and the Great Atlas. 209 



Atlas, and I saw it also about the irrigation-channels in the 

 neighbourhood of Marrakesh. 



29. Pycnonotus obscurus. Dusky Bulbul. 



This Bulbul, which abounds everywhere throughout the 

 Atlas region, ascends to at least 7000 feet in the moist 

 woods. 



30. Oriolus galbula. Golden Oriole. 



The Golden Oriole was far more abundant in some locali- 

 ties in the Atlas than I have ever seen it before; it positively 

 swarmed at Sould Jedid and on Tsauritz Eutsagauz, both 

 through the olive-region and as far up as there were trees 

 large enough to accommodate it. I saw full-grown young 

 in the middle of July. 



31. Lanius oodsoni. Grey Shrike. 



A Grey Shrike, which I believe to be Lanius dodsoni or 

 an allied form, is very common throughout Morocco. It does 

 not ascend high up the mountains, but I saw a few individuals 

 up to 3500 feet. 



32. Lanius pomeranus. Wood-Chat Shrike. 



The ubiquitous Wood-Chat Shrike was migrating south 

 over the mountains in July ; large numbers were young- 

 birds, but there were some adults in very worn plumage. 



33. Muscicapa grisola. Spotted Flycatcher. 



The Spotted Flycatcher was breeding abundantly through- 

 out the Atlas. 



34. Hiuuxdo rufula. Red-rumped Swallow. 



I first saw this Swallow in the outskirts of Rabat, where 

 it was breeding. 1 did not notice it again until just outside 

 Marrakesh. It was very common throughout the Atlas 

 region. 



35. CoTILE MAUR1TAN1CA. 



Cotile mauritanica Meade-Waldo, Bull. B. O. C. xii. p. 27. 



The Moorish Sand-Martin is nearest to Cotile paludicola 

 Vieill. and ('. minor Cab., but is much paler, the upper parts 

 being of a greyish-brown tint devoid of gloss and the undei
