Mr. C. Bygrave Wharton on the 
77. Alauda arvensis. 
Not at all common during the autumn or early winter; 
very numerous in January, February, and March, but only a 
few seen in April. I killed many Larks, in the hopes of find¬ 
ing Galerita cristata ; but the above and following species 
were the only two seen. 
78. Alauda arborea. 
Very numerous on the west coast all the time I was there, 
but only a few seen on the east coast in April. 
79. Yunx torquilla. 
Only two seen. One I shot near Ajaccio on November 
23rd, and the other at Biguglia on April 15th. 
80. CUCULUS CANORUS. 
None heard till April 21st; but after that date they were 
fairly numerous. 
81. COLUMBA LIVIA. 
On April 3rd I shot one of six disturbed from an old tower 
on the west coast; and these were the only ones seen. 
82. CoLUMBA PALUMBUS. 
Not uncommon during the winter, but none noticed in the 
spring. 
83. Turtur auritus. 
Noticed several on and after April 27th. 
84. COTURNIX COMMUNIS. 
Not many seen. 
85. Caccabis rubra. 
Common during winter, but apparently less so in spring. 
86. Vanellus vulgaris. 
Fairly numerous during the winter. 
87. iEGIALITIS HIATICULA. 
I only noticed this bird twice. On April 22nd I put up four 
on a river near Biguglia, and on the 30th saw four (possibly 
the same birds) on the borders of the lake. On each occasion 
they were very shy.
