dc.description.abstractThe Sparrows on Crete are generally considered to belong to the sub-species italiae of Passer domesticus, though there is some variability in the plumage of the males. Meise (1934, 1936) on the basis of 7 museum specimens considered that the birds were indistinguishable from P.d.italiae, the birds scoring 40, 45, 50(4) and 60, mean 49, in his index (0 = domesticus, 50 = italiae, 100 = hispaniolensis). Johnston (1969) examined 74 museum specimens (48 taken in 1925, 16 in 1942 and 10 in 1960) and found variations in his hybrid index from 3 to 12 (0 = domesticus, 17 = hispaniolensis), viz. 18 to 71%, with a mean value of 7.3 (43%).en_GB
