374 THE ZOOLOGIST. 



P. ccendeus, Linn. — Not uncommon. 



Certhia familiar-is, Linn. — Common in the chestnut woods. 



Troglodytes parvulus, Koch. — Quite abundant ; observed even 

 up to about 4000 ft. elevation. Also in the marshes. 



Motacilla alba, Linn., M. melanope, Pall. — Both exceedingly 

 common, but the former perhaps the more so of the two. 



Anthus pratensis (Linn.). — In company with the two last- 

 named species, seen on the ploughed land. One shot for identi- 

 fication was undoubtedly of this species, though rather brightly 

 coloured. 



? A. spipoletta (Linn.). — Mr. Crosfield, my companion in 

 Corsica, a most careful observer, noticed a bird probably referable 

 to this species. The bird was quite close to him in the forest of 

 Vizzavona ; elevation above sea-level about 5000 ft. 



Cottle rupestris (Scop.). — In the neighbourhood of Ajaccio, 

 more especially towards "leslles Sanguinaires," they might be 

 observed in considerable numbers. Seen and shot in the Campo 

 dell Oro. 



Carduelis elegans, Steph., Chrysomitris citrinella (Linn.), 

 Serinus hortulanus, Koch. — All fairly abundant, the Serin, how- 

 ever, less so than the rest. A large flock, mainly composed of 

 Citrils was seen near to Bocognano, by the Gravona river, at 

 some 4000 ft. elevation, on December 30th. 



Ligurinus Moris (Linn.). — Not uncommon in the low country. 



Coccothraustes vulgaris, Pall. — Often brought into Ajaccio 

 market, but never noted alive by us. 



Passer italice (Vieill.). — Exceedingly common in the towns, 

 but apparently scarce elsewhere. 



Fringilla ccelebs, Linn. — Ubiquitous. 



Linota cannabina (Linn.). — Often seen near Ajaccio, but 

 apparently not specially common. 



Emberiza cirlus, Linn. — By no means uncommon ; we looked 

 in vain, however, for E. citrinella, 



Alauda arvensis, Linn., A. arborea, Linn. — Both very abun- 

 dant. The latter might be seen in small parties on waste ground 

 on the lower hills. The calandra we never met with, even in the 

 markets. As Mr. Whitehead makes no mention of it in his 

 paper, it is perhaps fair to assume that the bird is not a Corsican 

 species. 



Sturnus vulgaris, Linn. — Once only met with in Ajaccio market.
