II .—Notes on Birds observed in Southern Palestine, in the months 
of March and April 1858. By the Rev. H. B. Tristram, 
F.L.S. 
There is, perhaps, no country frequented by travellers whose 
Fauna is so little known as that of Palestine. This may arise 
partly from the more absorbing associations of sacred and his¬ 
torical interest, which are of themselves more than sufficient to 
occupy the attention during the short period usually allotted to 
a tour in Palestine; and partly from the extreme difficulty and 
even danger of pursuing researches in a region so unsettled 
and lawless. 
The following list makes no pretension to anything like com¬ 
pleteness, as ornithology was by no means the principal object 
of the writer's expedition, and the districts most abounding 
in birds, as the Lebanon, the upper waters of the Jordan, and 
the wooded regions of Northern Palestine, were not visited by 
him at all. 
It is put forth rather in the hope that the fact of so many 
rare and interesting species having been observed in so short a 
time, may induce succeeding travellers to endeavour to supply
