in the Eastern Atlas. 359 
are very different from those of this species collected by Mr. 
Tristram and Capt. Loche. 
114. Buphtjs ralloides. (Squacco Heron.) 
Common in the marsh of Zana, but found in single birds or 
two or three together, rather than in flocks like the Buff-backed 
Herons. 
115. Ardetta minuta. (Little Bittern.) 
I only met with this bird in the marsh of Zana, where it is 
extremely common. 
116. Botaurus stellaris. (Bittern.) 
A few pairs of Bitterns frequented the marsb of Zana. As 
far as we could ascertain, they had laid their eggs and hatched 
their young before we had arrived there. 
117. Nycticorax griseus. (Night Heron.) 
I only observed this bird on the lake of Bizerta, where we 
found a few sitting about the fence-work made for stopping the 
fish. 
118. Ciconia alba. (White Stork.) 
Abundant at Bona and the old towns in the Regency of Tunis. 
119. Ibis falcinellus. (Glossy Ibis.) 
I several times saw a Glossy Ibis accompanying a small flock 
of Little Egrets at Zana. It would appear, from Mr. Tristram’s 
account of them at Lake Halloula, always to show this partiality 
for Herons, but not to be constant in its attention to one species. 
120. NuMenius tenuirostris. (Slender-billed Curlew.) 
In the Regency of Tunis, on more than one occasion, I saw 
a flock of these Curlews, and, on an undulating plain near El 
Djan, succeeded in shooting one. 
121. Totanus ochropus. (Green Sandpiper.) 
While searching for snipe in a small marsh near Sousa, Mr. 
Simpson shot one of these birds. 
122. Totanus calidris. (Redshank.) 
Observed in the same marsh. 
123. Recurvirostra avocetta. (Avocet.) 
We only saw the Avocet at Zana and Djendeli, though we did
