42. Macronyx wintoxi. Red-breasted Long-claw. 



Macronyoo ivintoni Sharpe. 



Iris brown ; bill and legs brown. 



A single female Red-breasted Long-claw was obtained on 

 April 17th near the camp at Kallima Theki. I do not 

 think that it can be a very common species, as such a 

 conspicuous bird would not be easily overlooked. 



48. Anthus sordidus. Brown Pipit. 

 Anthus sordidus Riipp. 

 Iris brown ; bill and legs brown. 



Specimens of the Brown Pipit were obtained on the 

 Kapiti Plains, where it was not uncommon. 



44. Anthus rufulus. Indian Pipit. 

 Anthus rvfulus (V.). 



Iris brown ; bill brown ; legs yellowish. 



An extremely abundant species all over the Kapiti Plains. 



45. Anthus tenellus. Yellow-breasted Pipit. 

 Anthus tenellus (Cab.). 



Iris and bill dark brown. 



The Yellow-breasted Pipit is a rare bird and was only seen 

 on one occasion, when a male in full plumage was shot near 

 the Gerei River. It was by itself amongst the small scrub 

 which fringes the river, and a thorough search revealed no 

 sign of another. It probably has much the same habits as 

 Anthus rufulus. 



46. Anthus cervinus. Red-throated Pipit. 

 Anthus cervinus (Pall.). 



Iris brown ; bill and legs dark brown. 



This is another species of which only one specimen was 

 obtained, whether from our overlooking the birds or from 

 their scarcity I am unable to say. 



A female was shot at 01 Donyo Sambuk on January 28th. 



47. MoTACiLLA FLAVA. Black-headcd Y'ellow Wagtail. 

 Motacilla flava Linn. 



Iris brown ; bill and legs black. 



This species was abundant evez'y where.
