Ornithology of Asia Minor, 
mountain. This nest was at an elevation of 5500 feet; but 
another pair were observed nesting in a plane tree much lower 
down_, in the valley of the Sihoun. Iris red; bill and legs 
slate-coloured. 
35. Picus MiNOii_, L. 
Common on the Bulgar dagh among the deciduous woods 
and orchards. To the northward it is much rarer^ doubtless 
from the scarcity of suitable localities. 
36. Picus medius_, L. Tachdelen. 
Common everywhere in oak- and fir-woods_, but rarely seen 
among the cedars. Specimens of this bird and the preceding, 
killed near villages, always had sooty breasts, caused by the 
trees in such situations being smoke-begrimed. The above 
Turkish name is applied to Woodpeckers generally. 
37. CuCULUS CANORUS, L. Kuku. 
Common in the Taurus. It arrives during the first week 
of April. 
38. CuCULUS GLANDARIUS (L.). 
Only once seen, in the mountains, April 20th. Common 
in the interior. 
39. CoRAciAS GARRULA, L. JesMl karga (Green Crow). 
Common everywhere. Arrived on the same date as the 
preceding. 
40. CoRAClAS INDICA, L. 
Once seen on the level country at the base of the Ala dagh, 
between Giaour keui and Bereketlii. 
41. Alcedo ispiDA, L. Kutchuk Balukdye (Little Fisher).
