Messrs. Elwes and Buckley on the Birds of Turkey. 191 



in Bulgaria, the Crimea, and up the Danube into Sei'via; but in 

 Greece we saw none at all. 



63. Pica europ^ea, Cuv. 

 Very common everywhere. 



64. Fregilus graculus (L.). 



We never saw this bird in Turkey proper, but got a speci- 

 men from Mr. llobson, which was killed at Kara Hissar in 

 Asia Minor. 



65. Fregilus pyrrhocorax (L.). 

 Observed in Epirus by Lord Lilford. 



66. Garrulus glandarius (L.). 



Common in Macedonia, and differs in no way from English 

 specimens. 



67. Garrulus stridens, Ehrenberg. 



Found near Constantinople by iNIr. Robson, who says that it 

 breeds in the Forest of Belgrade. Specimens sent to England 

 by him, some of which are now in Lord Walden's collection, 

 were submitted to Mr. Tristram, who says of them that " the 

 black crest scarcely extends so far down the occiput as in speci- 

 mens from Syria and Asia Minor (Smyrna), and the last are 

 rather darker on the back than the Syrian.^' On the subject 

 of these Jays we refer our readers to Mr. Tristram's published 

 remarks (Ibis, 1866, pp. 61, 6.2). 



68. Lanius excubitor, L. 



Seen occasionally by us in Macedonia, in February ; but 

 whether it breeds there is uncertain. 



69. Lanius minor, Gmei. 



A summer visitor to Turkey, and not uncommon in some 

 parts. It arrived in Bulgaria the last week in April. 



70. Lanius collurio. 



We only shot one specimen at Belgrade, on April 22nd; but 

 Mr. Robson says it is common in summer. 



71. Lanius auriculatus, P. L. S. Miiller. 



In Mr. Robson^s collection. He says it is not uncommon iu 

 summer.
