A common resident in the District, nesting on the 

 Saraana in summer, and occurring from August till April 

 along the foot of the hills and on stony ground generally. 

 From January till the end of March it is also found commonly 

 about cultivated lands. It perches readily in trees. It 

 varies a good deal in size and colour. In February 1908 there 

 were flocks of peculiarly dusky individuals on the grass- 

 farm. Nos. 566 and 569 are examples of this dark-coloured 

 Pipit.

 with. Both were procured on the grass-farm.

A summer visitor, arriving early in March and breeding 

 in numbers on the grass-farm and other suitable places. 

 Colonel Rattray must, I think, have mistaken A. cam- 

 pestris (which I have shot at Thall) for this species. 



[848.] Anthus campestris. The Tawny Pipit.
