Hans von Berlepscli on the Getms CyclorLis. 83 



lu conclusion I will give the local names for the most 

 common species^ which may prove useful to the ornitho- 

 logical visitor to Teneriffe. I think these names may be 

 pretty safely relied upon, though it is almost impossible to 

 make out exactly to which bird some of these names belong. 



Egyptian Vulture, '' Guirr^ " ; Kestrel, " Ceruicalo " ; 

 Buzzard, " Aguililla " ; Kite, '' Milano " ; Sparrow Hawk, 

 " Gavilan " ; Long-eared Owl, " Coruja " ; Barn Owl, ^^ Le- 

 chuza "; Great Spotted Woodpecker, " Peto,^' '^ Carpintero " ; 

 Hoopoe, " Tabobo " ; Swifts, '' Andorina " ; Swallow, " Go- 

 londrina " ; Blackbird, '' Mirlo " ; Ultramarine Titmouse, 

 'Trailero^'j Chiflfchafe, "Hornero''; Blackcap, "Capirote^'; 

 Spectacled Warbler, " Ratonero " ; Grey Wagtail, " Pispa," 

 "Alpispa"; Canarian Pipit, " Caminero''^; Common Bunt- 

 ing, ^'Pajaro polio," '^Triguero"; Rock Sparrow, '^Chil- 

 lon," " Gorrion " ; Teydean Chaffinch, " Pajaro azul," " Pa- 

 jaro de Teide," " Pajaro de la Cumbre " ; Azorean Chaffinch, 

 "Pempillon," ^^Tiutillon"; Linnet," Millero,'' "Triguero"(?); 

 Goldfinch, "Jilguero," " Pintacilgo," '^ Pintado'^; Canary, 

 " Canario " ; Raven, " Cuervo " ; Rock Dove, '' Paloma sal- 

 vaje"; Barbary Partridge, "Perdiz'^; Quail, ^^Codorniz"; 

 Stone Curlew, '' Alcaravan " ; Sandpiper, Dunlin, &c., '^Pa- 

 tito " ; Heron, "Garza"; Terns, "Jarajao"; Gulls, " Ga- 

 viota"; Shearwaters, " Pardela." 



This list includes nearly all the species likely to be met 

 with in Teneriffe. I have local names for others, but they 

 are either doubtful or simply Spanish translations of the 

 English names. 



<- — VI. — On the Genus Cyclorhis, Sivains. 

 By Hans von Berlepsch. 



In a recent number of ' The Ibis ' Mr. Sclater has published 

 an important account of the genus Cyclorhis, which has in- 

 terested me very much, as I have always given special atten- 

 tion to this somewhat difficult genus of VireonidcB. 



Seeing that there are several points in which I do not quite 

 agree with my friend Mr. Sclater, I wish to direct once more
