45. t^YLViA ATRiCAPiLLA (Liuu.). Blaclicap. " Tutinegra 

 real" 



46. tSvLViA ciNEREA, Lath. Common Whitethroat. 



47. t^YLViA cuRRUCA, Lath. Lesser Whitethroat. 



48. fSvLviA HORTENsis (Gmcl.). Garden- Warbler. 



49. fSYLViA MELANOCEPHALA (Gmcl.). Sardinian Warbler. 

 " Tutinegra dos vallados." 



These five are all said to be common, and abundant in summer. 

 I also heard of S. consjncillata, Marm., Spectacled Warbler ; 

 S. suhalpina, Bonelli; Subalpine Warbler ; and S. orphea, Temm., 

 Orpheus Warbler, as undoubted, though only occasional, visitors. 

 Here, too, I must enumerate a small band of Warblers which, 

 though undoubtedly more or less common in summer, as I was 

 assured they are, find no place as yet in the museums, and there- 

 fore cannot be included in my list. These are : — S. trochilus 

 (Linn.) ; S. sylvicola, Latham ; S. bonellii, Vieill. ; and S. hypo- 

 lais (Linn.). All these four species are indiscriminately known 

 in Portugal as " Folosa ;" and the last is called also " Fuinho." 



50. fMELizoPHiLUS UNDATUS (Bodd.) . Dartford Warbler. 

 There is a specimen of this bird in the Lisbon Museum, 



marked, as on the Continent generally, Sylvia provincialis ; but 

 whether it is common in the country or not I could not discover. 



51. tCiSTicoLA scHCENicoLA (Bp.). Fan-tailed Warbler. 

 This pretty little Warbler, which I had known well in Egypt 



and Nubia, is reported to be common iu Portugal ; indeed Tem- 

 minck first described it from skins brought from that country 

 by MM. Link and Hofi'mannsegg* ; but I never fell in with it, 

 though I kept a sharp look-out in the most likely spots, being 

 particularly anxious to renew my acquaintance with this most 

 diminutive species, and to hail my African friend on the shores 

 of Europe. 



Aedon galactodes (Temm.), is also said to be a frequent visitor 

 in this country. 



* [Dr. Bree (B. Eur. ii. p. 89) says that Temminck described it in 

 ih^Jirst edition of his ' Manuel ;' but we ai'e unable to find any mention of 

 it in that volume, and no description appears to have been published till 

 the second edition in 1820. — Ed.]
