1 92 1.] Winter Avifauna of the Camargue. 599 



Ember iza citrinella citrinella L. 



A single bird soon neai- Arlos. Crospon says this species 

 is common only in cold weather. 



Emberiza schceniclus schceniclus L. 



A common species in the marshes. Efforts to find 

 E. palustris Savi were unavailing. 



Calandrella brachydactyla brachydactyla (Leisler). 



Only two birds soon in the wastes east o£ Les Saintes 

 Maries. Not supposed to occur in this region in winter 

 according to the old French authors, and its presence 

 possibly due in part to the very mild and warm fall. 



Lullula arborea arborea (L.). 



A few birds in the "pasture" near Les Saintes Maries. 

 One in full song 30 Dec. 



Alauda arvensis arvensis L. 



Abundant throughout the Camargue. Common near 

 Aries. 



Anthus trivialis trivialis (L.). 



Crespon calls the Treoi-Pipit of rare occurrence in winter, 

 and 'Les Richosses ' does not mention it at this season. 

 There was a good-sized flock of these birds with the Wood- 

 Larks and Finches in the outskirts of Les Saintes Maries. 

 The old French authors may have been mistaken about its 

 status in winter. At any rate, I saw two birds near Angers 

 on 17 Jan., 1920, much farther north, 



Anthus pratensis (L.) . 



Abundant in the wastes of the Camargue. 



Anthus spinoletta spinoletta (L.). 



The Water-Pipit was mingled with the flocks of Meadow- 

 Pipits. Only a few birds were positively identified, and it 

 was ])robably commoner than my observations would indicate. 



Motacilla cinerea cinerea Tunstall, 



A single Grey Wagtail was seen near Les Saintes Maries.
