Avings measuring 115 mm. and over, and five wiug-measure- 

 nieiits between 105-108 mm. 



LuUula arborea flavescens. Wood-Lark. 



(^. Imbros, ll.i. 16. ?. Inibros, 11. i. IG ; 7. i. 16. 



Was seen only at Imbros and was not uncommon. Tbe 

 birds were in parties of about lialf-a-dozen, and were usually 

 met with on low cultivated ground; but tbe first seen were 

 high up on a rough hillside.

Fairly coamion in all three islands. In Milos the birds were 

 shy and specimens were not easily obtained, probably the 

 result of too many attentions from the " Alouette^' hunters; 

 in that island they frequented the rough scrub near cultiva- 

 tion as much as fields or vineyards. On Lenmos and 

 Imbros they were very tame, and usually found in the 

 neighbourhood of faim-buildin^s. Dr. Hartert has kindly 

 examined my specimens, and says they seem to belong to 

 the above race. 



Cliloris chloris miihler. Greenfinch. 



^ . Imbros, 17. i. 16. ? juv. Imbros, 17. i. 16. 



Was seen only in Imbros. A single bird was noticed on 

 1-1 Jjinuary, and on 7 January a flock of about twenty was 

 met with on sandy ground near the sea. They were very 

 quarrelsome when feeding and allowed a near approach. It 

 is surpiising none were seen in Milos. This bird (subsp. 

 aurantiiventris ?) breeds in Crete. 



Fringilla ccelebs ccelebs. Chaffinch. 

 ? . Milos, 5. xii. 15 ; 7. xii. 15. 



Common in all three islands, and probably resident. In 

 the flocks seen both sexes were present though females 

 predominated.
