at Monastir, Turkey in Europe. 301 



93. Upupa epops L. Hoopoe. 



Common from the end of March till September, nesting 

 principally in mud walls. The native name is " Putput." 

 I have seen a Hoopoe attack a Stork which had approached 

 its nesting-place. 



94. Cuculus canorus L. Cuckoo. 



Arrives between the 8th and 15th of April and is widely- 

 distributed. Many birds of the year were on passage on 

 August 28, 1903. 



95. Carine noctua (Scop.). Little Oivl. 



Not very common, but may be observed all the year 

 round. 



96. Syrnium aluco (L.). Tawny Owl. 



On March 30, 1904, I saw an individual being mobbed 

 by thousands of Jackdaws. The decayed willow from which

97. Gyps fulvus (Gm.). Griffon Vulture. 



Fairly common, but I could not ascertain where it breeds. 



98. Vultur monachus L. Cinereous Vulture. 



I fancy that I identified this Vulture on two or three 

 occasions, but should not like to say so positively. 



99. Neophron percnopterus (L.). Egyptian Vulture. 

 Very few individuals were observed and these all adults. 



In June, 190A, [ observed a pair high up on Peristeri, where 

 they doubtless breed. 



100. Gypaktus barbatus (L,). Bearded Vulture. 



On March 16, 1904, I had an opportunity of watching at 

 my leisure a fine adult specimen which was beating over 

 the mountain-slope near the village of Lakhtse, having 

 presumably wandered from the rugged heights of Peristeri. 



101. Circus .eruginosus (L.). Marsh-Harrier. 

 Resident, but more frequently seen in winter. 



102. Circus cyaneus (L.). Hen-Harrier . 

 Apparently generally distributed in the neighbourhood 



from the end of September till the end of March. The latest
