132 THE ZOOLOGIST. 



north. Large flocks passed south during the second half of 

 October; I saw the greatest numbers at dusk on several 

 occasions. 



Grey Goose (Anser sp. ?) 



On November 29th, during the cold weather, twenty-one flew 

 low across the Peninsula, going north ; they varied in the extent 

 of black on the breast, some being black and others quite 

 white. I think some were Grey-lags ; some probably White- 

 fronteds. 



Sheldrake (Tadorna cornuta). 



Two flew down the coast on December 2nd, going south-west. 

 I saw two on a lagoon at Imbros on July 10th, and one in the 

 harbour at Lemnos on January 5th. 



[Wigeon (Mareca penelope). 



Eighteen to twenty duck, which looked like Wigeon, flew 

 down the coast during the blizzard on November 28th.] 



Eed-breasted Merganser {Mergus serrator). 



One seen in Mudros Harbour, Lemnos, on January 5th and 

 January 10th. 



Bock-Dove (Columba livid). 



On August 3rd I saw one on the French side near the 

 " Brown House." Several in July about a big clump of rocks 

 on Imbros, some four miles from the coast ; possibly feral 

 domestic Pigeons, but they were some distance from any 

 dwelling. 



Stock-Dove {Columba osnas). 



One flew north-east, along the cliff-top on November 30th, 

 during the cold weather. 



Turtle Dove (Turtur communis). 



Common throughout the summer from May ; one of the 

 commonest birds on the Peninsula. 



Chukar Partridge (Caccabis chucar). 



I saw a small covey of eight on Lemnos in January, and 

 heard that they were at one time quite common there ; fifteen 

 which I saw on the cliff-side on the Peninsula in November were 

 almost certainly of this species. This covey, I was told, was to 

 be seen between " Gully Beach " and " Gurkha Bluff " throughout 

 the summer. 



Quail (Coturnix communis).
