* The common jay of Syria, Asia Minor and Greece, is not the Garrulus 

 gJandarius of Britain, but the nearly allied species with a black crown, 

 G. atrlcapillus, GeofF. {G. mclanocephalus, Gene.), but Capt. Druinmond 

 assures me that the jay of the Ionian Islands is identical with that of 

 Britain.— H. E. S. 



t Lanius meridionalis is generally considered as very rare in the south of 

 Europe, and L. minor as very common. In the Ionian Islands, however, 

 unless there be some error of transcription or of identification, the reverse 

 would appear to be the case. — H. E. S.
