Mr. Wiruersy exhibited skins of the following birds, 
which he had obtained in June and July, 1919, in the 
Balearic Islands :-— 
Lowia curvirostra balearica, an adult pair from a pine- 
wood at about 2000 ft., in the mountains of the north of 
Mallorca. 
Sylwa sarda balearica Jordans, Falco, Oct. 1913, p. 43. 
A series of this form, which is easily distinguished by its 
pale whitish throat and small size, from Mallorca, where it 
is common on parts of the coast. 
(Enanthe ce. enanthe. A male in full moult and a young 
one (July 19) from Ibiza. Mr, Witherby remarked that 
the bird evidently bred in some numbers on rough ground 
near some salt-pans on the coast in Ibiza, as he saw a good 
many young ones of various ages. Although it was im- 
possible to ascribe the adult male which he obtained to any 
race owing to its condition of moult, Mr. Witherby had 
examined a male obtained by Mr. Gosse on the same island 
on April 16, 1914, and this was of the typical form. 
Mr. Witherby thought it remarkable that the Common 
Wheatear bred at sea-level so far south, and that he did not 
see it in the mountains of Mallorca. The Wheatears which 
bred high up in the Sierra Nevada had been separated under 
the name of @. @. nivea Weigold, Orn. Monats. 1913, p. 123, 
and the Ibiza birds appeared to have none of the character- 
istics of thisrace. Dr. Jordans, however, considered the bird 
which evidently bred on Formentera belonged to @. @. nivea. 
Mr. WirHersy also exhibited a specimen of Parus palustris 
which he had obtained near Ribas in the Spanish Pyrenees, 
The bird being in juvenile plumagé, it was impossible to say 
to what subspecies it belonged, but so far as he knew no 
Marsh-Tit had previously been obtained in the Iberian 
Peninsula, though Saunders stated that it was found near 
Granada and Cordova (‘ Ibis,’ 1871, p. 208). 
Mr. WitHeErBy also exhibited two male E'mberiza schwni- 
clus canneti which had been obtained near Oporto on May 26,
