Excerpt from The Birds of Tunisia, Vol. 2: Being a History of the Birds Found in the Regency of Tunis Sturnus vulgaris, Linn. Syst. Nat. i, p. 290 (1766); Sharpe, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus. xiii, p. 27; Malherbe, Cat. Rais. d'Ois. Alg. p. 9 (1846); Loche, Expl. Sci. Alg. Ois. i, p. 124 (1867); Koenig, J. f. O. 1888, p. 171; id. J. f. O. 1892, p. 370; Whitaker, Ibis, 1894, p. 94; Erlanger, J. f. O. 1899, p. 487. Description. - Adult male, early spring, from Tunis, North Tunisia. Greater part of the plumage black, glossed with metallic reflections, purple predominating on the head, neck and upper breast, and green on the other parts of the body; interscapulary region with a slight bronze gloss, and flanks with purple-blue reflections; back and wing-coverts spotted with triangular whitish-buff spots; wings and tail-feathers blackish-brown, fringed with black and buff; crissum and under tail-coverts black, with broad white margins. Iris dark hazel; bill yellow; feet reddish-brown. Total length 8 inches, wing 5, culmen 1-05, tarsus 1-20. Adult female similar to the male, but duller in colouring. Young birds are of a dull greyish-brown above, and whitish below. The winter plumage is duller, and thickly spotted all over with dirty white. The bill at that season is black, and the feet are darker in colour than they are in the spring. Observations. - The plumage of the common Starling varies somewhat in colour, even in individuals from the same locality, and I have in my collection from Tunis specimens answering fairly well to Dr. Sharpe's description of S. menzbieri (Cat. Birds Brit. Mus. xiii, p. 33), while others, also from Tunis, resemble more S. poltaratzskyi (Finsch) (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1878, p. 712). These examples, however, can hardly be separated from S. vulgaris, L. S. poltaratzskyi occurs in the island of Cyprus, whence I have examples, and it may possibly find its way as far west as Tunis.

Excerpt from The Birds of Tunisia, Vol. 1: Being a History of the Birds Found in the Regency of Tunis The object of the present work is chiefly to supply a want, which I myself, and probably others, have felt, in the absence of any English publication which treats systematically of the birds to be found in the Regency of Tunis. It is true that during the past few years our brother-ornithologists in Germany have not been idle in this part of North-west Africa, but, on the contrary, have contributed valuable information to our knowledge of the Tunisian Avifauna, and to Prof. A. Koenig of Bonn and the late Carlo Freiherr von Erlanger of Ingelheim, we are indebted for highly interesting accounts of their researches in the Regency, which have been published in the Journal fur Ornithologie. I take this opportunity of publicly expressing my deep regret at the premature death of Carlo v. Erlanger, whom I had the privilege of knowing personally, and whose many good qualities I was thus the better able to appreciate. As an ardent naturalist and careful observer he was perhaps unsurpassed, and the promise he gave of good work in the future was great. His loss is a serious one to Science in general, and to our much-loved branch of Ornithology in particular. With the exception of the publications mentioned above, and some minor ones, among which may be included a series of papers written by myself in the Ibis, little has been written of late years on the Ornis of the Tunisian Regency, but I may observe, en passant, that Algeria and Tunisia were among the first countries regarding the Avifauna of which articles appeared in the Ibis, such pioneers of Ornithology as Canon Tristram, Osbert Salvin and Mr. J. H. Gurney junr., having each in their turn written on the subject in the earlier volumes of that journal.

Universally recognised as by far the most authoritative work ever published on the subject, The Birds of Africa is a superb multi-contributor reference work, with encyclopaedic species texts, stunning paintings of all species and numerous subspecies, hundreds of informative line drawings, detailed range maps, and extensive bibliographies. Each volume contains an Introduction that brings the reader up to date with the latest developments in African ornithology, including the evolution and biogeography of African birds. Diagnoses of the families and genera, often with superspecies maps, are followed by the comprehensive species accounts themselves. These include descriptions of range and status, field characters, voice, general habits, food, and breeding habits. Full bibliographies, acoustic references, and indexes complete this scholarly work of reference. This second volume in the series deals comprehensively with the guineafowl, francolins, buttonquails, rails, cranes, finfoot, bustards, jacanas, painted-snipe, Crab Plover, oystercatchers, stilits and avocets, thick-knees, coursers and pratincoles, plovers and lapwings, sandpipers and allies, skuas, gulls, terns, skimmers, auks, sandgrouse and pigeons. The editors and artists have worked closely with other authors - all acknowledged experts in their field - to produce a superb reference in which comprehensive texts on every species are complemented by accurate and detailed paintings and drawings of the birds themselves.
