396 Mr. H. Durnford on North-Frisian Ornithology. 



Saxicola oenanthe. 



Numerous on the mainland and islands in suitable localities. 



Motacilla alba. 



Common on Sylt and Amrum. We saw one pair on Nord- 

 strand and a few on the mainland. 



Motacilla flava. 



Common on Amrum and on the mainland^ where we put 

 up a small flock roosting in a patch of reeds near Hoyer. A 

 pair seen on Nordstrand had a nest, I think ; but we were un- 

 successful in our search for it, 



Anthus pratensis. 



A few pairs observed on the north end of Sylt. 



Alauda arvensis. 

 Common everywhere. 



Emberiza miliaria. 



Common on the mainland. We saw a few on Sylt and a 

 single bird on Nordstrand. 



Emberiza sch(eniclus. 

 Common in suitable localities. 



Passer domesticus. 

 Common everywhere. 



Linota cannabina. 



Common at the north end of Sylt. We observed a few on 

 the mainland. 



Sturnus vulgaris. 



Common everywhere. The natives set up boxes outside 

 their houses both for Starlings and Sparrows, of which the 

 birds readily avail themselves. 



TURTUR AURITUS. 



A pair frequented a field of rye near List, the north end of 

 Sylt, whilst we were there. 



Perdix cinerea. 



We heard two or three calling on the mainland near Hoyer, 

 but we did not observe it on the islands.
