of the character of that of the true Acrocephali, although 

 not so much as the song of H. pallida. This last-named 

 species is, however, altogether more Acrocephaline generally 

 in its ways and habits. 



7. ACROCEPHALUS PHRAGMITIS. 



Found at Gafsa, Source des Trois Palmiers, and near 

 Ghardimaou, though never common anywhere. 



8. CisTicoLA cuRsiTANs. (Cat, B. Brit. Mus. vii. p. 259.) 

 Found near Gabes, and at Source des Trois Palmiers. 



9. Parus major. 



Found only in the high oak and cork woods near Ghardi- 

 maou, and El Fedja, where it was fairly common. 



10. Parus ledouci. (Cat. B. Brit. Mus. viii. p. 44.) 

 Also found at Ghardimaou and El Fedja, though less 



abundant than the preceding species, and occurring only in 

 the oak forests, which are at a higher level than the cork 

 woods. The range of the Algerian Cole Tit appears to be 

 confined to the wooded mountains of the North. Certainly 

 I never met with it in the South, or even in Central Tunis, 

 where the sole representative of the Tit family would seem 

 to be P. ultramarinus. 



11. Certhia familiaris. 



Fairly common in the woods near Ghardimaou, where it 

 was breeding. A nest with young in it found on 20th May, 

 and young on wing met with in the second week of June. 



12. Anthus cervinus. 



I have specimens of this Pipit both from Mr. Aplin and 

 M. Blanc. The former found it at the Source des Trois 

 Palmiers, and near Kairouan towards the end of April. 

 M. Blanc obtained his specimens in the far south in the 

 early winter. In habits the Red-throated Pipit seems greatly 

 to resemble the Meadow-Pipit, but its note is altogether 

 different. Both species were seen and heard on the same day. 



13. Pycnonotus barbatus. (Cat. B. Brit. Mus. vi. p. 146.) 

 The Dusky Bulbul was fairly common in the wild-olive 



woods, and macchia of myrtle, cistus, &c,, bordering the
