Captain P. W. Munn on the [Ibis, 
they frequent the harbour of Alcudia, as well as the small 
bays and inlets of Alcudia and Pollensa Bays. After heavy 
gales they are found frequently dead upon the shore. 
Included in v. Jordans’ list. 
139. Pelecanus onocrotalus. White Pelican. 
You Jordans quotes a record of its occurrence in the 
Albufera in 1773. 
140. Anser anser. Grey Lag-Goose. 
A rare winter visitor. I saw one on the lagoons near 
Puerto Alcudia on 19 February, 1921, and heard a wild 
Goose of some sort passing over the Albufera on 28 February, 
1920. 
141. Anser fabalis. Bean-Goose. 
Included by v. Jordans on Barcelo^s authority. 
142. Cygnus cygnus. Whooper Swan. 
Yon Jordans quotes a record of Barcelo’s of its occurrence 
in the Albufera in 1804. 
143. Anas platyrhyncha. Wild Duck. 
Common and resident. During the winter large flocks 
frequent the Albufera and adjacent lagoons as well as the 
Albuferete, and I have seen miles of Duck in Alcudia and 
Pollensa Bays during calm weather. The majority depart 
in early spring, but a considerable number remain to nest in 
the marshes and pine-woods near the shore. Jn March and 
April I have found their nests in the pine-woods in thickets 
of heather, myrtle, butcher’s broom, etc.; but they are much 
sought after by the natives, who, if possible, kill the Duck 
and take her eggs. The eggs are rather smaller than British 
specimens. 
Obtained by v. Jordans. 
144. Anas strepera. Gad wall. 
Included by v. Jordans on Barcelo’s authority.
