Mr. E. V. Harcourt on the Ornithology of Madeira. 437 



1 have now come to an end of the list of birds which may be 

 strictly called natives of Madeira. There are, however, many 

 other occasional or accidental visitors to the island, and these 

 come chiefly from the African coasts. The most common of 

 these stragglers are the Sparrow-Hawk, Greenfinch, Hoopoe, 

 Common Heron, Night Heron, Godwit (Black-tailed), Common 

 Curlew, Grecnshank, Great Snipe, Gallinule, Coot, Wigeon, and 

 Kittiwake. 



The following is a list of the birds of Madeira, which, although 

 it is the fullest 1 have been able to obtain, is capable doubtless 

 of being much increased by future observers.
