3-28 Rev. F. C. R. Jourdain on the 



C. riifa hlspanica, in colour, but diflering from it in its 

 smaller size, the wing measuring only 150 mm. (J), 

 140 ( ? ), and the tail 98 mm. ((J) and 77 ( ? ). In spite 

 of the way in which this species is shot down at every 

 opportunity, it still manages to hold its own and is not at all 

 an uncommon resident, breeding up to considerable heights 

 in the mountains, where not too thickly covered wdth forest. 

 Two birds, which evidently were breeding close at hand, 

 were flushed from the vicinity of an eyrie of the Golden Eagle 

 at over 2000 ft. Giglioli thinks that it is only in the south of 

 the island that it is found on the low ground. Full clutches 

 of eggs, ranging from nine to twelve, and, it is said, even 

 eighteen in number, may be found from mid-JNlay onw"ard. 

 Average size of eighteen Corsican eggs, 38"84 x 30'64 mm. ; 

 max. 40 x 31 and 39-5 x 31*5, min. 37-5 x 30-2 and 38-3 x 30.

Martorelli (' Gli Ucelli d'ltalia/ p. 21) adduces some 

 evidence of the occurrence of this species (which is common 

 in Sardinia) in South Corsica, but at present jn-oof of its 

 presence is wanting (see Giglioli, Secondo llesoconto, p. 520).] 



Appendix. 



Since the account of the Literature Avas published in 

 ' The Ibis,' 1911 (pp. 191-194), several additional papers on

 51 forms are treated of : Anas anr/ustirostris is added to the
