Phylloscopus collyWta collybita (VieilL). 



Ph. trochilus trochilus (L.). 



There were a few Chitichaffs at Riano and Potes and a 

 good many about Panes, this difference in numbers beino- 

 perhaps due to altitude. It seems probable that a certain 

 number winter near the coast as they do in Portugal. We 

 did not hear the song, so I am unable to say if it is of the 

 peculiar character of the Chiffchaffs of Portugal and south 

 Spain. 



We shot a Willow-Wren at Riano on 25 September, but 

 did not identify it elsewhere. Ii'by mentions it as common 

 in May and June, and I think it is not, known to breed south 

 of this district. He also states that Bonelli's Warbler was 

 common, and gives a record of the Wood-Wren on 16 May, 

 but we saw neither of these species. 



Cettia cetti cetti (Temm.). 



Cetti's Warbler was fairly common at Panes, and we 

 obtained two specimens which are typical. We did not 

 observe the bird elsewhere. 



fHypolais polyglotta (Vieill.). 

 We saw a few Melodious Warblers at Riano and Panes. 



Sylvia "borin (Bodd.). 

 S. atricapilla atricapilla (L.). 

 IS. communis Lath. 

 These species were present, but in ver^' small numbers. 



Turdus viscivorus viscivorus Ij. 



The Mistle-Thrush was common, especially on the borders 

 of the higher woods. The two s[)ecimens we obtained are 

 grever on the u{)per-parts than a series of British birds, but 

 some from Germany and Switzerland are equally grey and 

 this is a variable character. 



Turdus philomelus pMlomelus Brehm. 



Sono-Thrushes were ratlier scarce at Riano, but commoner 

 at Potes and Panes. The five collected are like typical birds,
