Notes from Morocco. 57 



miles from Tetuan, and for lunch in a watercourse at midday. 

 When passing down the valley below the village of Ain 

 Hasrin, I saw a large Vulture {Gyps fulvus) wheeling along 

 towards the high mountains ahead. 



Among these mountains, near the fondak, we encountered 

 heavy squalls of rain, whicli drenched us all and transformed 

 the track into a rushing stream ; but the sun came out when 

 we reached a lower elevation and quickly dried our clothes. 

 In the fondak. Sparrows {Passer domesticus) were nesting in 

 the baskets put up for the Pigeons beneath the arches round 

 the courtyard, and on reaching the plains again on the 

 Tangier side I saw Stonechats {Pratincola rubicola) and 

 a few Grey Shrikes {Lanius algeriensis) . Corn-Buntings 

 {Emberiza miliaria) and Crested Larks {Alauda cristata) were 

 to be seen on every side. Among the oleanders in the water- 

 courses nearer Tangier, Addon galactodes was plentiful and 

 not at all shy.

 this and a preceding visit to the country in autumn : —
