Captain P. W. Munn on the [Ibis, 
often than not one of the eggs remain unhatched, which 
accounts for the number of old nests found with one bad 
egg. The first eggs were found on 4 April, 1920, and 
though unfinished nests were met with at the end of April, in 
others the young were nearly ready to fly at the beginning 
of May. 
Obtained by v. Jordans. 
55. Sylvia cantillans. Sub-Alpine Warbler. 
Yon Jordans obtained a specimen. 
56. Sylvia orphea. Orphean Warbler. 
A summer visitor, arriving at the end of March or begin¬ 
ning of April, but not common. They chiefly frequent the 
pine-woods near the shore, where they feed quietly among 
the upper branches. I have found old nests in the forks of

Yon Jordans remarks on a note of Barcelo’s concerning 
this species. 
57. Melizophilus undatus. Dartford Warbler. 
Yon Jordans obtained a specimen. 
58. Sylvia sarda balearica. Marmora’s Warbler. 
Specimens have been obtained by v. Jordans and Witherby. 
Both the above are resident, and though I have not yet 
obtained examples, I have observed them both in winter 
and summer. They are occasionally for sale in the market 
in Palma. 
59. Cettia cetti. Oetti’s Warbler. 
Obtained by v. Jordans and noticed by Witherby. 
Yon Jordans separates it under the name C. c. salvatoris. 
60. Acrocephalus streperus. Reed-Warbler. 
An abundant resident in the Albufera, where it breeds, 
not only in the marsh itself, but in the ditches and hedges 
adjoining. Owing to the chorus of croaking frogs in the 
spring and summer in the Albufera, it is not ensy to trace 
birds by their notes, but the Reed-Warbler’s songs can be
