Mr. C. By grave Wharton on the 
37. Pratincola rubicola. 
One of the commonest birds on the west side of the island, 
but only a few seen on the east. 
38. Pratincola rubetra. 
First noticed at Biguglia on April 17th, after which they 
were fairly numerous. 
39. Accentor modularis. 
Probably more common than it appears, but, owing to its 
habit of keeping in the low “ maquis i} on the hills, and not 
frequenting gardens or cultivated lands, is often overlooked. 
All I saw were in the low cover on the hill-sides of the west 
coast. None noticed on the east side of-the island or at Corte. 
40. Parus major. 
Common. 
41. Parus ater. 
I shot two specimens of this Titmouse in the woods above 
Cavro on January 13th; and they were the only ones noticed 
in any part of the island. 
42. Parus c^eruleus. 
Common, but less so than Parus major. 
43. Acredula irbii. 
Scarce. A few seen near Ajaccio in November, and one 
pair, evidently breeding, noticed in a large clump of thick 
brambles near Biguglia on April 17th. 
44. Motacilla alba. 
Common during the winter, but none seen after March. 
45. Budytes elava (L.). 
Several seen during April; but I am unable to say for cer¬ 
tain whether they breed in the island or not. 
46. Budytes cinereocapilla. 
A few found at Biguglia in April, consorting with the pre¬ 
vious species. 
47. Budytes boarula. 
Numerous during the winter on the shores of the Gulf of 
Ajaccio, and found breeding along the small mountain-streams
