Schiebel {t. c. p. 17) states that this species is scarce, but that he first 

 recognised it at JJastia on April 7.

Schiebel states (p. 19) that he met with this species commonly on 

 Monte Renoso and towards Monte d'Oro up to a height of 1800 metres, 

 and in small numbers up to 2100 metres.

 pp. 144, 145. Resident Corsican birds are separated from the ordinary 

 form on account of the exceptionally deep black plumage of the male.

This species, mentioned in my list in brackets on the evidence of a 

 forester, can now be definitely added to the Corsican avifauna, as 

 Schiebel [t. c. p. 20) mentions having seen a single bird on June 1 at a 

 heif^ht of about 1200 metres. 



The total number of forms now definitely recorded from 

 Corsica amounts to two hundred and twenty-nine. Of these, 

 no fewer than forty-one have been separated, though in several 

 cases with very slij^lit justification, as local races confined to 

 Corsica and Sardinia, or in a few cases as found in Corsica 

 alone. The following list contains the names of all these 

 Tyrrhenian subspecies hitherto described. Those of doubt- 

 ful validity are marked with a query. Where the same race 

 is also found in Sardinia, the letter S follows, but where it is 

 represented by another form the S is enclosed in brackets, (S).
