690 Captain P. W. Munn on the [Ibis, 
One found its way into a lobster-pot lying on the quay at, 
Puerto Alcudin, and was captured. 
These birds are known to the natives as u birds of the snow/’ 
because in cold weather they often come into the houses. 
Von Jordans obtained specimens of the three above-named 
species. 
68 . Phylloscopus bonelli. Bonelli^s Warbler. 
Included in v. Jordans’ list on the authority of Homeyer 
and Barcelo. 
69. Cisticola c. cisticola. Fan tail Warbler. 
A common resident species, very plentiful in winter but 
not quite so abundant during the summer. They commence 
nesting at the end of March and beginning of April, and 
the nests, carefully concealed among grass, samphire, or 
spear grass, are deep pockets of cobwebs, down, etc., like 
the web of some insect. 
I have found two types of egg—one pure white, the other 
pale blue. The Majorcan name for this bird is “ Ooyec de 
Ban,” meaning u eye of an ox.’ 5 
Obtained by v. Jordans. 
70. Turdus viscivorus. Missel-Thrush. 
Not uncommon during the winter, frequenting the old 
olive orchards and scattered trees on the hillsides. 
Not observed by v. Jordans, who quotes Barcelo. 
71. Turdus philomelus. Song-Thrush. 
Very abundant during the winter and universally distri¬ 
buted, but after the beginning of April very few are left in 
the district, and apparently none remain to breed. Great 
numbers are killed for food and sold in the markets, with 
Redwings and Blackbirds and a few Fieldfares and Ring- 
Ouzels, and an occasional Blue Rock-Thrush. 
Von Jordans noticed a specimen in May in Cabrera. 
72. Turdus musicus. » Redwing. 
Plentiful during the winter, and, like the Fieldfares, they 
frequent the old olive orchards and trees on the scrub- 
covered hillsides.
