624 NOTES FROM THE SOUTH. 
GYPAETUS BARBATUS. Bearded Vulture. 
According to a trustworthy man, three Bearded Vultures 
were observed about the end of March at a carcass that I had 
laid out for large vultures in the neighbourhood of Trebinje. 
They circled round the spot repeatedly and then disappeared 
again. A few days before my arrival a specimen was killed 
at Mostar, not far from the town. 
NEOPHRON PERCNOPTERUS. Hgyptian Vulture. 
On March 31st I observed one of these birds between 
Ragusa and Trebinje, not far from the frontier of Dalmatia 
and the Herzegovina. A few days later my brother-in-law 
killed one at a carcass where a pair had settled at the same 
time. In April I saw some near Trebinje. When I placed 
the Hagle-Owl near the carrion these vultures stooped at it 
furiously, but after a few attacks flapped down to the ground 
and began their repast. On April 24th I saw one in Northern 
Dalmatia on the rocky banks of the Cermanja, and on the 
same day two more among the high cliffs in the narrow pass- 
age from the Mar di Novigrad into the Mar di Karin. 
Gyps FuLVvus. Griffon Vulture. 
Along the road between the Dalmatian frontier and Trebinje 
we everywhere saw Griffon Vultures sailing about. They 
did not always come to the carrion that I laid out, but gene- 
rally only flew round the place. On March 31st, however, 
great numbers of these vultures assembled for a feast from 
seven in the morning until two in the afternoon, and a whole 
horse disappeared into their hungry stomachs in a single day. 
On April 15th we exposed a sheep at another spot near a 
Turkish “kula,” upon which we set the Hagle-Owl. A “Stein” 
Eagle and a Raven stooped at the Owl, while at the same 
moment a Griffon Vulture, an Egyptian Vulture, and another 
Raven settled upon the carcass. On the 18th several vultures
