1921 .] Birds of Aleudia , Majorca . 677 
1. Corvus corax hispanus. Raven. 
A common resident. A good many nest in the crags of 
the peninsula of Alcudia, preferring inland situations among 
the hills to the cliffs of the coast. Several pairs sometimes 
nest in the same neighbourhood ; in one gorge on 22 March, 
1920, I found two nests on bluffs about 100 yards apart, one 
of which contained young ones, and on the other the bird 
was sitting and refused to move. The first nest was on an 
open shelf of rock and the other in a small cavern, and 
thougli not easily accessible, both nests could be seen into 
from the adjoining hillsides. In 1921 one only of these nests 
was occupied. In another range of cliffs three pairs were 
nesting not far from each other. They frequently associate 
in the winter in considerable flocks, and I have seen 
assemblies of from twenty to fifty individuals attracted by 
some common food. 
Obtained by v. Jordans, who distinguishes this subspecies 
from C. c. tingitanus and C. c. sardus. 
2. Corvus corone. Carrion-Crow. 
3. Corvus cornix. Hooded Crow. 
Included in v. Jordans 5 6 list ; but though both these- 
.species may occur on migration (and Gosse thought he saw 
a Carrion-Crow in 1911), no specimen has yet been obtained, 
nor have they been found to nest in the island. 
4. Corvus frugilegus. Rook. 
Included by v. Jordans on Barcelo’s authority. I have 
never seen this species in the island, but Gosse has noticed 
it. There is no reason why it should not occur on passage. 
5. Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax. Chough. 
Included by v. Jordans on the authority of Barcelo. 
6. Sturnus vulgaris. Starling. 
Starlings only frequent the district in the winter and 
early spring. In 1919-20 a few small parties frequented 
Albufera and neighbourhood up to the middle of March, 
but in 1920-21 vast flocks were found in many parts of the 
island. It is included in v. Jordans' list.
