Birds of the Pyrenees. 79 



sad fate of the bird picked up on the Col de Puymorcns 

 has already been told. 



Phylloscopus bonelli (Vieill.). 

 Identified above Puigcerda. 



AcRocEPHALUs TURDoiDEs (Meyer). 



The Great Sedge- Warbler was seen in the canc-br;dics 

 near the Gulf of Rosas. On the west side we saw and 

 heard the bird and found its nest in a little reedy pool at 

 St. Jean-de-Luz, and it breeds in the swamps near Biarritz. 



AcROCEPHALUS PHRAGMITIS (Beclist.) . 



The Sedge- Warbler was observed on the banks of the 

 river below Ripoll. 



Accentor modularis (L.). 



As Mr. Eagle Clarke remarks, the Hedgc-Sparrow is a 

 mountain species in the Pyrenees. We saw it well above 

 Ribas, in Catalonia; while, as regards the French side, we 

 can endorse his record of its abundance at Hospitalet. 



The Alpine Accentor was not seen; we were not high 

 enough for it, or the mist on the Col was too thick. 



CiNCLUs aquaticus, Bcchst. 



In Catalonia the Dipper was plentiful on the Freser, above 

 Ribas; less abundant on the upper waters of the Ariege 

 valley, above Ax-les-Thermes. 



Acredula caudata (L.). 



The Long- tailed Tit was observed in the tall elms near 

 St. Jean-de-Luz. 



Parus major, L. 



The Great Tit was seen among the cork-woods on the way 

 to Cadaques ; in the beech-woods above RipoU ; and, on the 

 French side, at Luchon. 



Parus ater, L. 



The Coal-Tit was identified only near Ripoll in Catalonia, 

 and near Luchon in France. 



Parus palustris, L. 



The Marsh-Tit appears to be very local. We identified it
