211. CARPODACUS PH@NICOPTERUS, Bp. (C.sanguineus, Gould.) 
Shot by J. H. Cochrane, Esq., in the north of Palestine, under 
Lebanon. 
212. ERYTHROSPIZA GITHAGINEA, Licht. 
In the southern deserts a resident. 
213. MonTIFRINGILLA NIVALIs (L.). 
On the summits of Hermon and Lebanon. 
214. Lrnota cANNABINA (L.). 
Common in winter through Central Palestine, and in spring in the 
mountains and northern wooded districts. Breeds close to the top 
of Hermon. 
215. CoLUMBA PALUMBUS, L. 
In winter on Mount Carmel and, in countless myriads, in the forests 
of Gilead and Bashan. After March I never met with it. 
216. CotumBA anas, L. 
Obtained in 1858. Not among my collections of this year. 
217. CoLuMBA SCHIMPERI, Bp. 
The common Rock-dove of the Ghor and adjacent ravines. As 
plentiful as in Egypt. 
218. CoLtumsa ivi, L. 
In the highlands and on Mount Carmel. The two species can 
easily be distinguished on the wing by the different coloration of the 
rump and by the larger size of C. livia. 
219. Turtur RIsoRIUS, Swains. 
Rather scarce in winter in the Ghor, but abundant at the south- 
east end of the Dead Sea. Returns in March, and is then distributed 
more or less plentifully over the whole country, but especially in the 
Ghor. 
220. Turtur auritus, Ray. 
Overspreads the whole of the Ghor and the rest of the country in 
incredible numbers in spring and summer, feeding chiefly on the 
various clovers ; but never seen in winter. Returns about March 20. 
221. TurTuR SENEGALENSIS (L.). 
A permanent resident in the Ghor, and even in the gardens and 
courtyards of Jerusalem. Unlike 7’. risorius, its numbers do not 
appear to be increased by the vernal migration. Not observed in 
the north. 
222. PreRocLes Exustvs, Temm. 
In flocks in the southern desert near Beersheba.
