SHARPE, F.L.S., Librarian to the Society, &c, and H. E. DRESSER, F.Z.S. &c. [Received April 4, 1871] In a paper published in 'The Ibis' for 1868 (p. 295), Sharpe drew attention to the differences existing between the Long-tailed Titmice of Great Britain and Scandinavia, and gave a synopsis of the known species, six in number. At that time it was very uncertain whether the bird found in Spain was identical with the British species or not. W e have lately received from our friend Major Irby a series of specimens killed near Gibraltar, and we can now safely affirm that the Spanish Long-tailed Titmouse constitutes a new and entirely distinct species, which we propose to call ACREDULA IRBII, Sp. nOV.
