24 THE ZOOLOGIST. 



Chelidon tirhica, Linn. — Very abundant indeed. Breeding at 

 St. Sauveur. 



Cotile rupestris, Scop.— I remember seeing several of what I 

 took to be this bird last year upon the mountain range between 

 St. Sauveur and Cauterets. 



Chri/somitris citrinella, Linn. — On June 7th, in the celebrated 

 Cirque de Gavarnie, I shot three males of this species, and saw 

 many more, but at St. Sauveur and Argeles I never saw it. 



Serimis hortulanus, Koch. — I have eggs from Argeles, and shot 

 a male on May 4th near St. Sauveur. In the neighbourhood of 

 houses it is very common. 



Coccothrattstes vulgaris, Pall. — One in the Luz collection. 



Montifrinfiilla nivalis, Linn. — Near the summit of one of the 

 peaks immediately above Argeles I saw three or four of these 

 birds, both males and females, but I failed to procure any speci- 

 mens (5500 ft. ?). I also met with a solitary bird on the summit 

 of the wild Col de Saucede (5000 ft.), on the Route Thermale 

 between Ai-geles and Eaux Bonnes. 



Fringilla ccelehs, Linn. — Comman everywhere. I have eggs 

 from Argeles. Above St. Sauveur I shot a pair, being anxious 

 to know whether any difference existed between the English and 

 continental forms. I found them smaller and much lighter in 

 plumage, but nothing different beyond that. 



F. montifringilla, Linn. — One solitary specimen in the Argeles 

 collection. 



Pyrrhula mropaa, Vieill. — Fairly common both at Argeles 

 and St. Sauveur. In this bird I also noticed the same difference 

 as with the Chaffinch. A female from St. Sauveur, in my col- 

 lection, is wonderfully light in general colour. 



Emheriza citrinella, Linn. — Not so common in the Pyrenees 

 as I should have expected. I have the skin of a female from 

 near Gedre, and saw one or two at Argeles. 



E. cirliis, Linn. — I saw it once at Argeles. 



E. cia, Linn. — Certainly the commonest Bunting in the St. 

 Sauveur valley. I have a specimen also from Argeles. 



Alauda arhorea, Linn. — I remember seeing one of these birds 

 last summer on an eminence above Bagneres de Bigorre. 



Pijrrhocorax gracuhis, Linn. — Curiously enough there is a large 

 colony of these birds at St. Sauveur in the sides of the gorge close 

 to the Pont Napoleon. There must be some hundreds in this
