20 Mr. C. G. Danford on the 



great variation in the size of the legs and beaks and the 

 lengths of the tarsi of specimens procured in the same locality, 



110. MOTACILLA ALBA, L. 



Generally common and resident. 



111. MOTACILLA MELANOPE, Pall. 



A few were observed during the early months of the year 

 at Zebil and Anascha. 



112. MOTACILLA MELANOCEPHALA, Gm. 



Very common about the marshy districts of the interior. 

 First met with April 30th. 



113. Anthus spinoletta (L.). 



Pretty numerous on the banks of the Sihoun during March. 

 All the specimens obtained were in moult^ and very ragged 

 about the throat. 



114. Anthus TRiviALis (L.). 



Common in the woods at Anascha, where it arrived April 4, 



115. Anthus pratensis (L.). 



Found in flocks at Gozna and Zebil during the winter 

 months. 



116. Anthus cervinus (Pall.). 



This species, which we previously found wintering on the 

 sea-coast plains, also occurred during winter in the moun- 

 tains. Some specimens were obtained on the banks of the 

 Sihoun during March which showed no trace of the breeding- 

 plumage ; but birds shot in the barren grass-country in the 

 beginning of May were in full summer dress. In this part 

 of the country the Red-throated Pipit was exceedingly 

 common. 



117. Anthus campestris (L.). 



Not common, but well distributed throughout the country. 

 A pair shot April 4th were the first of this species seen. 



118. Alauda arvensis, L. 



Large flocks were met with at Zebil in the beginning of 

 January. A month later almost all had disappeared. In 

 spring they returned and were common in the interior.
