  rufus. 
  Chiffchaff. 
  (Hotviero.) 
  

  

  The 
  Chiffchaff 
  is 
  common 
  everywhere 
  at 
  all 
  elevations, 
  

   except 
  in 
  Fuerteventura 
  and 
  Lanzarote. 
  Its 
  voice 
  and 
  habits 
  

   differ 
  much 
  from 
  those 
  of 
  our 
  bird. 
  It 
  lays 
  from 
  three 
  to 
  

   five 
  eggs.

  island 
  "we 
  saw 
  it 
  only 
  in 
  the 
  neighbourhood, 
  of 
  Haria. 
  

   The 
  Canarian 
  form 
  is 
  rather 
  paler 
  in 
  colour 
  and 
  smaller 
  in 
  

   size 
  than 
  Moroccan 
  and 
  Algerian 
  examples.

  approach 
  

   houses 
  or

  and
