and Moorhen, while many Passerine birds were com- 

 pletely isolated there. 



Division 6, comprising the Western Zone, was illustrated 

 by slides showing the high ground. In this zone bird-life 

 was restricted to Raptorial birds, while in the cultivated 

 barrancos near the coast birds similar to those found in 

 Division 1 made their appearance, but with two additions, 

 the Shrike and the Sardinian Warbler, which were never 

 met with in the north of the island. 



Fuerteventura. 



The next series showed the type of country frequented by 

 the following species typical of that island, viz. Fuerte- 

 venturan Bustards, Sandgrouse, Coursers, Trumpeter-Bull- 

 finches, Hoopoes, Short-toed Larks, and Fuerteventuran 

 Chats. 



Lanzarote. 



This island was even more barren in the south than 

 Fuerteventura, on account of the lava-beds and streams, 

 which formed such a conspicuous feature. Bustards 

 and Sandgrouse were seldom, and the Fuerteventuran 

 Chat never, found in Lanzarote; while the Courser was 

 very rare. 



A good set of slides illustrating the physical features 

 of this island were exhibited. The most interesting was 

 that showing the valley of Haria, which was shut off by 

 mountains from the south of the island, and noteworthy 

 as being inhabited by the Pale Titmouse, Lanzarote Chiff- 

 chaff, and Spectacled Warbler, found nowhere eke, while 

 other Passerine birds were numerous. 



Outlying Islets. 



(Graciosa, Montana Clara, and Allegranza.) 



The remaining slides pictured the outlying islets of 



Graciosa, Montana Clara, and Allegranza. These were 



chiefly remarkable for the numbers of Petrels which bred 



there, Montana Clara being specially rich in this respect
