streams that I constantly examined both in the mountains 

 and plains, though Cara and Salvadori consider it common. 

 This certainly is not the case in the south of the island. 



61. Turdus VISCIVORUS. 



Common all the year round in the mountains. 



62. TURDUS PILARIS. 



A rare winter visitor. 



63. Turdus iliacus. 



A winter visitor, but never numerous. 



64. Turdus MUSICUS. 



Extremely abundant in winter. Very few, if any, remain 

 to breed. 



65. Turdus merula. 



Common at all seasons ; but their numbers are greatly in- 

 creased during winter. 



66. MONTICOLA CYANUS. 



Common and stationary all the year. I have heard their 

 wild cheerful song early in March. 



67. MONTICOLA SAXATILIS. 



Included in Cara's and Salvador's list as " not rare/' I 

 never saw one. 



68. Saxicola leucura. 



A rare visitor. Salvadori mentions one having been killed 

 near Cagliari during his visit there in winter. 



69. Saxicola stapazina. 



70. Saxicola aurita. 



I never saw either of these species ; but they are included 

 in both of the above-mentioned lists. 



71. Saxicola cenanthe. 



First appeared on the 7th of April, after which date they 

 were very abundant on the plains. Salvadori mentions having 

 seen some during winter along the Scafta of Maddalena in 

 the north of the island.
