630 LIST OF WORKS CONSULTED 



MADEIRA. 



The following papers should be consulted: A. Koenig (J. f. 0., 1890), W. R. 0. Grant (Ibis, 1890 

 and 1896), and a long series of papers by Padre Schmitz, mostly published in the Orn. Jahrbuch 

 (1893-1909). 



AZORES. 



See F. D. Godman, Natural History of the Azores (1870) and E. Hartert and W. R. 0. Grant, Nov. 

 Zool. (1905). This latter paper is the best up to date. 



MAROCCO. 



The Ornithology of the Straits of Gibraltar, by Col. L. H. Irby (2nd Edit., 1895) gives a fair account 

 of the bird life of the country near Tangier. Since then papers have appeared in the Ibis by P. W. 

 Munn (1897), J. I. S. Whitaker (1898) and E. G. Meade- Waldo (1903 and 1905). See also E. Hartert 

 (Nov. Zool. ix. and x.). 



ALGERIA. 



The literature of Algeria is extensive (see H. Schalow, /./. 0. 1906, and J. H. Gurney, Ibis, 1871). 

 Besides the great work of Loche (Expl. scient. de I'Algtrie, Oiseaux, 1867) and papers by Tristram (Ibis, 

 1859-60), Salvin (Ibis, 1859), Taczanowski (/. /. 0., 1870), J. H. Gurney (Ibis, 1871), Dixon (Ibis, 

 1882), Koenig (/. /. 0., 1895 and 1896), Witherby (Ibis, 1905), and important papers by Rothschild 

 and Hartert in Nov. Zool. (1912 and 1913) there is a list of species by W. R. 0. Grant in Pease's Travel 

 and Sport in Africa (1902). 



TUNISIA. 



The Birds of Tunisia by J. I. S. Whitaker (1905) is the standard work on the country. Besides 

 Mr. Whitaker's earlier papers in the Ibis, important papers have been contributed to the /. /. 0. by 

 Koenig (1888 and 1892), von Erlanger (1898 and 1899) and Graf Zedlitz (1909). 



EGYPT. 



Both the Ornithologie Nord-ost Afrikas by T. v. Heuglin (1869-74) and the Handbook to the Birds of 

 Egypt by G. E. Shelley (1872) are now much out of date. There is no good general work on modern 

 lines, but important papers have been contributed to the /. /. 0. by Dr. Koenig (1907) and by 

 Messrs. W. S. Loat and M. J. Nicoll to the Ibis (1906 to the present time). 



(c) Asia. 

 PALESTINE. 



The Fauna and Flora of Palestine by H. B. Tristram (Survey of W. Palestine, 1884) is the only general 

 work. See papers subsequently published in the Ibis, 1903 (S. Merrill), 1906 (Sclater), 1910 

 (Carruthers) and some recent observations by Padre Schmitz (Orn. Jahrb. 1910 , etc.). For 

 Northern Syria and W. Mesopotamia, see Weigold (J. f. 0., 1912-13). For Sinai Peninsula, see 

 Zedlitz (/./. 0., 1912). 

 ASIA MINOR. 



Since Danford's excellent papers in the Ibis (1877, 1878, and 1880), notes have appeared in the 

 Ibis for 1891 (Dresser), 1900 (Selous), and also in the /. /. 0. for 1908 (Braun). 

 CYPRUS. 



Since Lord Lilford's List of the Birds of Cyprus in the Ibis for 1889, von Madarasz has published a 

 paper, fiber die Vogel Cyperns, in the Annal. Mus. Nat. Hung. (1904), and the latest general account is 

 that of Mr. J. A. S. Bucknill in the Ibis, 1909 and 1910, with addenda in 1911 and 1913. 



Among the countries of the EASTERN PALJEARCTIC REGION in Western Asia the most useful works 

 for Persia are Blanford's Zoology of Eastern Persia (1876), Sarudny's List of Persian Birds (J.f. 0., 

 1911), and scattered papers by Sharpe, Sarudny, Witherby, Zugmayer, etc. For Transcaspia see 

 Radde and Walter (Ornis, 1889); for literature of Central Asia see Schalow (/./. 0., 1901), and for 

 West Siberia since Seebohm's day useful local lists have been published by Popham (Ibis, 1897, 1898, 

 and 1901). For the Lena see Hartert and Hall (Ibis, 1904), and for the Kolyma, Dresser and Buturlin
