is seldom seen, and that, though he has employed collectors to 

 hunt expressly for it, he cannot obtain additions to the three 

 specimens which the Lisbon Museum possesses. Thus, to my 

 chagrin, I left Portugal without a single example, though, when 

 on my return home through Madrid, I fell in with three skins 

 and three eggs of this bird at the shop of Senor Sanchez, in the 

 Calle de Alcala, with whom I had dealings years ago. 



95. *Garrulus gland arius (Linn.). Jay. " Gaio." 

 Extremely common everywhere. 



96. fPicus viRiDis, Linn. Green Woodpecker. " Pica- 

 pau verde." 



97. tPiGus MAJOR, Linn. Great Spotted Woodpecker. "Pica- 

 pau malhado." 



98. fPicus MEDius, Linn. Middle Spotted Woodpecker. 

 " Pica-pau malhado." 



All these species are said to be common ; the two former 

 abundant. Of P. minor I was unable to find any trace. 



99. t^YNx TORQUiLLA, Linn. Wryneck. ^' Papa-formigas." 



100. *Certhia FAMiLiARis, Linn. Common Creeper. "Tre- 

 ■padeira,'' " Atrepa." 



101. *Troglodytes parvulus, Koch. Wreu. " Carri- 

 cinha das moitas." 



102. fSiTTA EUROPiEA, Linn. Nuthatch. 



103. tUpuPA EPOPs, Linn. Hoopoe. " Poupa." 



104. *CucuLUs CANORUs, Linn. Common Cuckoo. "Cuco." 

 The above six representatives of their several genera are 



all pronounced common in Portugal, though I suppose none 

 of them are very abundant. The Hoopoe is often met with in 

 summer. I did not hear the Cuckoo until April 25th. 



105. fCucuLus GLANDARius, Linn. Great Spotted Cuckoo. 

 " Cuco rabilongo." 



This is another old Egyptian friend which I hoped to find in 

 Portugal ; but though not very rare in summer, it is a late 

 visitor, and had not arrived when I left.
