ORNITHOLOGICAL NOTES FROM THE FRENCH 



PYRENEES. 

 By James Backhouse, Jun. 



The following notes were collected during May and the early 

 part of June last year, and are composed chiefly from observa- 

 tions made by myself at Ai-geles and St. Sauveur, in the Hautes 



Pyrenees. 



I was also fortunate in gaining access to two local collections, 

 one near Argeles, and the other at Luz, a mile or so from St. 

 Sauveur. The birds contained in the former were collected and 

 preserved by a peasant farmer, most of them being admirably 

 stuffed and wonderfully life-like ; whilst those in the latter 

 collection were just the reverse, and comparatively few in 

 number. I was able, however, to gain from both of them some 

 useful notes respecting birds taken in the district. 



Though perfectly well aware of the incompleteness and 

 irnperfection of these notes, yet, knowing well the comparatively 

 small amount of ornithological information which is extant from 

 the French Pyrenees, I hope that my writing thus may not be 

 altogether in vain. 



Turdus viscivorus, Linn. — Fau-ly abundant. Breeding. I 

 have eggs from Argeles (1530 ft.) 



T. iliacus, Linn. — One or two in the collection at Luz.
