Captain P. W. Munn on the [Ibis, 
five eggs on 4 May, 1921, built at the foot of a small pine in 
the woods near the shore among herbage ; and this appears 
to be the usual situation. 
Obtained by v. Jordans. 
25. Emberiza cirlus. Cirl Bunting. 
A resident, universally distributed but nowhere plentiful. 
Obtained b}^ v. Jordans. 
26. Emberiza hortulana. Ortolan Bunting. 
Obtained by v. Jordans. 
27. Emberiza palustris. Heed-Bunting. 
A Reed-Bunting is common during the winter in suitable 
localities, and a few remain throughout the year. Hitherto 
I had considered them to be typical Reed-Buntings, but 
Witherby informs me that a male I obtained on 25 March, 
1921, is a form of E. palustris , but is not referable to any 
known subspecies, and until more specimens are obtained it 
must remain uncertain what form inhabits the island. 
Von Jordans did not observe it, but includes it in 
his list on the authority of Barcelo under the name of 
E. schoeniclus. 
28. Alauda arvensis. Sky-Lark. 
Common during the winter, and a few probably remain 
throughout the year. On 26 February,* 1920, when on a 
ship some distance off the north coast of the island, I saw 
one flying northwards. 
Not observed by v. Jordans, who quotes Barcelo. 
29. Lullula arborea. Wood-Lark. 
First noticed in the middle of April, so probably it is a 
summer visitor only, but it is not plentiful. 
Not observed by v. Jordans, who quotes Barcelo. 
30. Alauda duponti. Dupont’s Lark. 
Von Jordans makes some remarks on this species in his 
list, but there is no record of its occurrence in the island,
