66 TURDIDJS. 



H. olivetomm, is stated to have been met with at Tangier and 

 Fez, but did not come under my observation, and, being found in 

 S.E. Europe and Asia Minor, is not likely to occur.

 white ; the rest below buffy white. Length 5 inches. 



Subfamily REGULIN^. 



48. Regulus- cristatus, K. L. Koch. The Gold-crested "Wren. 



I have never met with this bird in Andalucia, where they 

 have been recorded as common, and Lord Lilford informs me 

 that he never obtained an Andalucian specimen. Possibly they 

 may occur irregularly, like the Siskin that is to say, not in all 

 winters consecutively. Arevalo says they have been found near 

 Malaga and Granada. 



Male. General colour above olive-green, a black streak on each side 

 of the orange-coloured crown. 



female. Less bright than male. Length 3^ inches. 



49. Regulus ignicapillus (0. L. Brehm). The Fire-crested 

 Wren. 



This species is resident and common in the Cork-wood and in 

 the wooded valleys at the back of Algeciraz, coming as near to 

 Gibraltar as the Malaga Gardens, close to San Roque. They 

 nest rather early, the young being able to fly on the 15th of May. 



Male. Much as last, but whitish streak over the eye, and a third black 

 streak through eye to the olive-green nape ; crown flame-coloured. 

 Female. Less bright than male. Length 4 inches.
