4G2 Captain II. Lyncs — Bird-notes 



Chloris chloris. Greenfinch. 



San Cristcbal. — A trilling note, almost certainly that of 

 the Greenfinch, was often heard in the pin.^apal in Marcli. 

 Its author systematically eluded observation, and we did not 

 hear the note dnring onr April visit. 



Sierra Nevada. — Not observed in the Sierra^ but evidently 

 breeding in the gardens at Granada. 



Carduelis carduelis. Goldfinch. 



San Cristobal. — The Goldfinch was observed mnch higher 

 than the base of the mountain. 



Sierra Nevada. — Plentiful in the bush-country of the 

 middle zone. 



Carduelis cannabixa. Linnet. 



San Cristobal. — A few Linnets bred in the foothills and 

 lowlands, but the species was not observed on the mountain. 



Sierra Nevada. — Plentiful and evidently breeding in the 

 bush-country of the middle zone, where males were singing 

 during our visit. 



* Serixus caxarius serinus (L.). Serin. 



San Cristobal. — The Serin was observed much higher than 

 the base of the mountain. 



Sierra Nevada. — Plentiful in the bush-country of the 

 middle zone. 



Frixgilla ccelebs. Chaffinch. 



San Cristobal. — The Chaffinch, although abundant in the 

 woodlands of the foothills, was only observed near the base 

 of the mountain. 



Sierra Nevada. — Fairly j)lentiful, singing and presumably 

 breeding up to quite 6000 ft. Numbers were feeding in 

 company with Linnets and Rock-Sparrows on the ploughs 

 and fallows at 7000 ft., at Avhich altitude the melting of the 

 snow had just given sufficient time for the ground to be 

 brought under cultivation. 



We saw nothing of the Snow-Finch — the Penoncs was 

 our highest altitude.
