26 NOVITATES ZOOLOOICAE XXV, 1918. 



112. Motacilla fasciata Brehm = Motacilla alba alba.* 



Mola-illa jasciata Brehm, Vogelfang, p. 143 (185.5 — Galicia). 



Type: S ad., Galicia, 21.iii. 1852. Count Wodzicki leg. 



113. Certhia fanuliaris pusilla Brehm = Certhia faviiliaris macrodactyla. 

 Certhia familiaris ptixilla Brelim, Xaumannia, 1858. p. 358 (Dalmatia and Rentheodorf). 



Type: ? Dalmatia, 15. x. 1830. 



The only other specimen is a 2 shot at Renthendorf, 20. xi. 1820. Both 

 are small specimens, but otherwise typical macrodactyla. 



114. Certhia rufidorsalis Brehm. 



Certhia ru/idnrsalis Br2hm, Naumannia, 1856. p. 359 (only one specimen from Witten). 



Type: " <? primo auctumno, Witten a. d. Ruhr, 30. ix. 1830." F. W. 

 Badeker coll. 



This specimen is a remarkable bird, with a very deep rust-red back and 

 rump, more so than in C. familiaris hrittanica Ridgw., but otherwise Avith the 

 characteristics of C. brachydadyla . It is not a form of C. familiaris, but must be 

 an aberrant hradnjdactyla , as we cannot assume that a third species exists near 

 Witten, together with C. familiaris and brachydaclyUt. 



*115. Certhia braehydactyla Brehm = C. brachydadyla brachydadyla. 



Certhia braehydactyla Brehm, Beitr. z. Vojdkunde, i. pp. 570. 579 (18211 — " Rodatal "). 



Type: S perad., Renthendorf, 29. xii. 1816. C. L. Brehm leg. 



The specimen is marked " Das Urexemplar zur Beschreibung." On the 

 label it is called Certhia megarhynchos, but is no doubt the type of brachydadyla. 

 Probably it is also the type of C. megarhynchos Brehm, Handb. Naturg. Vog. 

 Deutschl. p. 211 (1831— Westfalen, once near Renthendorf). In 1831 Brehm 

 evidently split up his brachydadyla into brachydadyla and megarhyncha. 



116. Certhia paradoxa Brehm = Certhia brachydadyla brachydadyla. 



Certhia paradoxa Brehm, Vogeljang, p. 76 (1855— " Verirrt sich aus Ungarn sehr selten nach 

 Deutschland "). 



Type: 9 ad., Hungary, 7. v. 1840. {? Petenyi coll.). 



117. Sitta advena Brehm = Sitta evrojMta caesia. 



Sitta advena Brehm, Handb. Naturg. Vog. DeutsM. p. 2 (1831 — " Zeigt sich nur zuweilen in den 

 Waldern des mittleren DeuUchlands "). 



Type: $ Renthendorf, 12. vii. 1815. C. L. Brehm leg. 

 Described from exceptionally pale, partially juvenile, specimens. 



* To the synonyms must be added : Mot. cfrincalia and pratorum Brehm, Isis, 1837. p. 740 

 [Ifomirui nuda), and it should be noted that Mot. cervicalia was first described in lata, 1848. p. 501, 

 from specimens collected near Renthendorf. About these varieties of. Vog. pal. Fauna, p. 303.
