 in Italy. 



[II Sirratte in Italia uella primavera del 1888 per Tonimaso Salvadori 

 Boll. Mus. d. Zool. e, Anat. Comp. d. R. Univ. d. Torino, vol. iii. n. 47.] 



Count Salvadori puts together in tliis useful paper the 

 records of the occurrences of Syrrhaptes paradoxus in Italy 

 in April and May 1888. The first instance observed was on 

 April 24th, at Montagnena, near Padua, the last at Orvieto, 

 on May 28th. About 74 individuals altogether were noticed 

 on fifteen occasions. Most of the occurrences took place in 

 the north-east of Italy — Venetia, Uomagna, and the Marches, 

 — but two of them were on the western slope. The most 

 southern occurrence noted was at Fauo, on the Adriatic. 

 The irruption does not appear to have reached Lombardy 

 and Piedmont.

 collections of Antinori and Ragazzi, and 11 are new to Shoa.
