1921 .] Bird Notes from Southern Spain. 
[These Great Tits and a series from Portugal appear to me 
intermediate between Pams m. major and P. m. excelsus, but 
are perhaps nearer the latter race. The white wedge on the 
outer tail-feathers is more restricted in the majority than in 
P. m. major , and the colour of the mantle is darker and like 
P. m. excelsus; on the other hand, the outer webs of the inner 
secondaries are not so grey as in P. m. excelsus nor are the 
nnderparts so bright a yellow. The bills are, on the whole, 
larger than in P. m. major and like P. m. excelsus, while the 
wings of fourteen males measure 72-77 mm., or about the 
same as in P. m. major, namely, 73-79.—H. F. W.] 
Farus cseruleus liar ter ti. 9 £ . 
Abundant in the cork-woods. Breeds also at Gibraltar, 
apparently an extension of its range since Irby’s time. 
[I have compared these with a large series from Portugal 
(P. c. harterti Tratz, type-locality Oporto) and find them to 
be the same. This form is very near P. c. ogliastrce > but the 
mantle is darker and more bluish-green. The wings of 
the series measure : males 57-65 mm., females 57-62.—

Parus cristatus weigoldi. 6 <$ ; 2 ? ; 2 juv. 
Abundant in Almoraima Woods and not uncommon behind 
Algeciras, but not observed in the Betin Hills. 
[This form was described by Tratz from Portugal, and 
I have compared this series with a series from Portugal. 
They are intermediate in colour between P. c. scoticus and 
mitratus , the colour of the upper-parts being not quite so 
dark as in P. c. scoticus, and having in some examples a slight 
rusty tinge on the rump, cheeks, and underparts, while in 
others the underparts are even whiter than in P. c. scoticus. 
The wings of the whole series measure: males 60-63, females 
57-60 mm.; this is smaller even than P. c. scoticus. — 
H.F.W.] 
iEgithalus caudatus irbii. 1 $ ; 3 $ . 
Only observed in the neighbourhood of the Long Stables 
at Almoraima. Wings measure : male 58, three females 55- 
56 mm.
