Lullula arborea. 
Met with only in the breeding season in the Almoraima 
Cork Woods, where they were local. No specimens were 
obtained. 
Galerida cristata pallida. 3d; 1 ¥ • 
Common and resident. 
Galerida t. theklae. 3 $ 5 ? ¥ ; juv. 
Resident. The opinion was formed that the Crested Larks 
which bred in the lower grounds and the cornlands were 
cristata and those found on the scrubby hillsides were tlieklce , 
and birds shot confirmed this opinion. On the Queen of 
Spain’s Chair, Crested Larks (three shot were tlieklce ) bred 
commonly. In the winter none were observed on this 
ground, but of six caught at that season on the low grounds 
near Algeciras and sent to me, four were tlieklce and two 
cristata. It was evident that the birds breeding on the rough 
hillside left there on the approach of winter. The only 
other evidence of movement obtained was on 19 October, 
when, following a strong easterly gale, three Crested Larks 
arrived near Europa Point with many migrants. They 
remained there during the winter and disappeared in March ; 
the subspecies could not be ascertained. 
Calandrella b. brachydactyla. 2 $ ; 1 $ . 
Resident and migrant. Is a local breeder near Algeciras. 
One was seen in the Hospital grounds on the 21st of 
September, and a male struck the Europa lantern on the 2nd 
of October. Evidence of spring migration was obtained on 
13 April when two were seen on passage, and on 14 April 
when one was caught alive at the lantern. 
Melanocorypha c. calandra. 1 d ; 2 ? . 
Found near Algeciras in winter, but not observed in the
