442 Rev. A. C. Smith on the Birds of Portugal. 



52. fl^EGULUs iGNiCAPiLLUs, Brchm. Fire-crested Wren. 

 " Estrellinha." 



While our common Golden-crested Wren, R. cristatus (Linn.), 

 known also in Portugal as " Estrellinha,'' is exceedingly rare in 

 that country, and the museum cannot boast a specimen, R. ig- 

 nicapillus is pronounced to be abundant. 



53. fP^RUS CAUDATUS, Linn. Long-tailed Titmouse. 



54. *Parus major, Linn. Great Titmouse. 



55. *Parus c^ruleus, Linn. Blue Titmouse. " Chopim." 

 These three species are common. 



56. j-Parus cristatus, Linn. Crested Titmouse. 



Very rarely seen in Portugal, though undoubtedly it does 

 occur sometimes ; but one would hardly have expected to find at 

 all, at the extreme south of Europe, this hardy little denizen of 

 Scandinavia and Russia. 



57. fl'-^RUs ATER, Linn. Coal-Titmouse. 



Though scarcely a rare bird, this species does not seem to 

 frequent Portugal as it does some other southern countries of 

 Europe ; perhaps, however, there is a limit to its endurance of 

 heat. 



58. *MoTACiLLA ALBA, Linn. White Wagtail. "Alveloa" 



59. *MoTACiLLA YARRELLi, Gould. Picd Wagtail. " Al- 

 veloa." 



60. *MoTACiLLA BOARULA, Lath. Grey Wagtail. " AlvelSa 

 amarella." 



61. tMoTACiLLA FLAVA (Linn.). Grey-headed Yellow Wag- 

 tail. " Alveloa amarella." 



These four species are all reported to be common ; while our 

 M. raiji, though recognized as Portuguese, is considered ex- 

 tremely rare. Thei-e is a specimen in the Museum at Coimbra. 



62. *Anthus pratensis (Linn.). Meadow-Pipit. "Pe- 

 tinha." 



63. *Anthus campestris, Bechst. Tawny Pipit. " Pe- 

 tinha."
