576 Mr. J. H. Stenhouse : [Ibis, 
also occasionally the case in the typical bird ; the bill is 
decidedly deeper, and this is perhaps the best character.—

Sturnus vulgaris. 
Not observed either winter. Its usual migration route 
must lie farther to the westward. 
Sturnus unicolor. 
A pair seen in Almoraima Cork Woods on the 6th of June 
were probably nesting. They are very uncommon. Capt. 
Congreve found a nest with two fledged young on 30 May 
in the same district. 
Oriolus o. oriolus. 
A common summer visitor, first seen 23 April, on which 
day several were noted migrating at El Yalle, west of Tarifa, 
having apparently just crossed the Straits. 
Last observed on 6 September. 
Chloris chloris aurantiiventris. 2 £ ; 1 $ . 
Breeds. Its numbers are greatly increased in late October 
and November, when a heavy toll is exacted by bird-catchers 
on the passing migrants. The return journey was not much 
in evidence ; a small flock of both sexes was seen 28 April at 
Sierra Retin, and a female struck the Europa lantern on the 
same date. The autumn migrants of this species passed 
during the day. It has seldom been recorded as on passage 
at night. 
Coccothraustes c. buvryi. 4 <J ; 2 ? . 
Not uncommon, but difficult to observe. 4 males had 
wings ranging 98 to 101 mm., and 2 females 92 and 96 mm. 
[The two females match female examples of C. c. buvryi 
exactly, and are very much paler and greyer than any 
examples of the typical form, but the males are somewhat 
intermediate in colour. The differences, however, between 
this and the typical form are always more marked in the 
female. The size is slightly large for C. c. buvryi. —H. F. W.] 
Carduelis c. weigoldi. 2d; 2 $ ; 1 juv. 
Resident. Many migrants come south in October and 
remain during the winter, when large flocks are met with
