Ornithology of Corsica. 
66. Carduelus elegans. 
Common and resident. 
67. Chrysomitris citrinella. 
Only noticed during the winter, when they were to be 
found congregating in flocks with Serin Finches, Linnets, and 
Goldfinches. 
68. Serinus hortulanus. 
Numerous during winter; and though all do not seem to 
remain, numbers breed in the olive-groves. First eggs found 
on April 10th. 
69. Ligurinus chloris. 
Not uncommon. 
70. Pyrgita petronia. 
For about a week at the end of December there were several 
of these birds in the immediate neighbourhood of Ajaccio; but 
I never saw them afterwards. On the 28th I shot two out of 
one of my windows ; and all the time they stayed with us they 
were exceptionally tame. 
71. Passer cisalpinus. 
The commonest bird in the island. 
Though constantly on the look-out for Passer hispaniolensis , 
I never noticed it. 
72. Linota cannabina. 
Common, but most so in the winter. 
73. Emreriza cirltjs. 
Common; but all those seen during winter do not seem to 
remain to breed. 
74. Emberiza hortulana. 
A few seen at Biguglia on April 30th and May 1st. 
75. Embertza miliaria. 
Common and resident. 
76. Emberiza schceniclus. 
I shot the only one seen, on March 17th, at Biguglia.
