64 JOTTINGS ABOUT BIRDS. 



zanowski states that he met with this species 

 frequently at the Fezzara Lake. 



278. The Tree Pipit Anthu^ trivialis (Linnasus), 

 is a winter visitor to Algeria ; whether it ever breeds 

 in the country I am unable to say. 



279. The Taw^ny Pipit Anthus campestris (Lin- 

 naeus), is a resident in Algeria, most abundant in 

 winter. It breeds on the northern slopes of the 

 Atlas, and in winter does not appear to go further 

 south than the Hauts Plateaux. It breeds commonly 

 near Batna, more sparingly at Lambessa. 



280. Richards' Pipit Anthus richardi, Vieillot, 

 is a very rare abnormal migrant to Algeria. 



281. The Water Pipit Antlms spipoletta (Lin- 

 naeus), is a winter visitor to Algeria. I met with 

 it as far south as Biskra, as also did Taczanowski. 



282. The White Wagtail Motacilla alba, Lin- 

 naeus, is a common winter visitor to Algeria, a few 

 remaining all through the summer. 



283. The Pied Wagtail Motacilla alba ijarrellii, 

 Gould, occasionally visits Morocco in winter, and 

 there can be Httle doubt that it wanders into the 

 extreme north-west of Algeria. 



284. The Gray Wagtail Motacilla sidphurea, 

 Bechstein, is a winter visitor to Algeria, said by 

 Loche to frequent the mountain streams.
