XXXV 



respecting the birds of Southern Spain, and Lord Lilford's and Mr. Howard Saunders's papers on 

 the ornithology of Spain, contain a considerable amount of useful information. As regards Italy, 

 the best and most reliable works, so far as I can judge, are Salvadori's ' Uccelli d'ltalia ' and 

 Savi's posthumous work ' Ornitologia Italiana,' which were published within a year of each other, 

 and which contain almost all the latest information on the avifauna of Italy. 



For Greece the best reference list is Kriiper and Hartlaub's k Griechische Jahreszeiten,' 

 which contains all the information given in Lindermayer's ' Vogel Griechenlands ' and von der 

 Miihle's ' Beitrage zur Ornithologie Griechenlands,' as well as later information and some field- 

 notes collected by Dr. Kriiper. As far as Turkey and Asia Minor are concerned, the only 

 information to be obtained must be gathered from the various "papers published in different 

 periodicals, of which I give a list ; but Shelley's ' Birds of Egypt ' and Loche's ' Expl. Scient. 

 de l'Algerie, Oiseaux ' give full information respecting the avifauna of North Africa, as do 

 Godman's " Notes on the Birds of Madeira and the Canaries " and ' Natural History of the 

 Azores ' on that of the Atlantic Islands.
