682 Brig.-Gon. H. E. Kelham on [Ibis, 



aloiiir tho coast: one I shot at the end of October hud all 

 the upper plumage brown, the feathers light-edged, legs 

 fleshy yellow, length 31| in., probably a bird of the year, as 

 Col. Meinertzhagen (Ibis, 1921, p. 137) says :— " It breeds 

 on the small rocky islands near Candia." 



Ardea cinerea. 



Seen in considerable numbers during the autumnal 

 migration. 



Ardea purpurea. 



On 1 October I saw a long line of Purple Herons flying 

 low over the sea, evidently migrating. 



On 13 October I flushed eight out of the Amyro Marsh. 



Egretta alba. 



I saw one standing in the Amyro Marsh on 12 October. 



Mareca penelope. 



I shot one in November in the Amyro Marsh. 



Anas l)oscbas. 



I shot several during the winter in Amyro Marsh, but 

 they were not plentiful, nor in fact were any wildfowl, there 

 being few suitable places for them anywhere in the neigh- 

 bourhood of Candia. 



ftuerquedula crecca. 



Fairly common in Amyro Marsh during the winter, but I 

 also saw some there in July, probably breeding. 



Nyroca ferina, 



Amyro Marsh, during November. 



Nyroca nyroca. 



I shot a few of these White-eyed Pochard near Candia. 



Columba palumbus. 



I saw many among the woods on the Sphakia hills. 



Columba livia. 



Plentiful along the coast. I shot several from the caves 

 overlooking the sea. Yery numerous at Standia and 

 Paximadi,
