346 Mr. i). A. J3annermaii on the [Ibis, 



(Catalogo, 1893, p. 49) : excluding the Blue Chaffinch, he 

 enumerates Fr'ingilla tintUlon (for F. c. canariensis) , Fringilla 

 pahiKS (for F. c. pahnm)^ and Fringilla spudiogena as an 

 accidental ijird of passage. 



Moreovei", he gives F. africaita Le Vaill. as a synonym of 

 F. spodiogena, althougli these are two different races of the 

 Chaffinch. 



It is evident tliat Cabrera believed these two north 

 African forms to be one and the same, and that it appeared 

 accidentally in the Canaries. 



It is probable that the Hierran Chaffinch (F. c. oiuhriosa), 

 ■which has only recently (1913) been recognised as a distinct 

 race, has been confused. 



Emberiza citrinella. Yellow Hammer. 



Ledru (Voyage aux iles de Teneriffe, vol. i. 1810, p. 182) 

 includes Emlteriza citrinella Avithout further note. 



Busto (Topografia medica, 1864, p. 104) gives it in his 

 list, but Mompo and Viera do not appear to include it. 



Cabrera (Catalogo, 1893, p. 51) notes that it is mentioned 

 by " most authors" but does not mention these authors by 

 name. 



Emberiza hortulana. Ortolan Bunting. 



Busto includes it (Topografia medica, 1864, p. 104). 



Cabrera notes it (Catalogo, 1893, p. 51) on the authority of 

 Ledru and Busto. I cannot find it mentioned anywhere in 

 Ledru's 'Voyage aux iles de Teneriffe,' vol. i. Two "Embe- 

 rizes uon determines"' are given, however, in addition to 

 those we can fix. 



Galerida cristata. Crested Lark. 



Busto mentions this Lark (Topografia medica, 1864, 

 p. 104). 



Included by Cabrera (Catalogo, 1893, p. 52), on the 

 authority of Busto, as a bird of passage. 



V arious forms of this species are recognised in Africa.
