100 The Oologists' Record, December i, 1921. 



found them on the open meadow-lands in tufts of grass. Six eggs 

 was a frequent clutch. They resemble those of the Grey Wagtail, 

 Motacilla melanope, Pall., ranging from whitish-brown to fawn or buff. 



Sky Larks, Alaiida arvensis, L., and Corn Buntings, Miliaria 

 miliaria (L.), ranked next in point of numbers ; the air was full 

 of the former. Then Reed Buntings, Emberiza schoeniclus, L., and 

 Meadow Pipits, Anthits pratensis (L.). We never saw the Tree 

 Pipit, Anthus trivialis (L.). 



Of the continental representative of the Pied Wagtail, i.e., the 

 White Wagtail, Motacilla alba, L., we saw but a few pairs, and only 

 discovered one nest. This was placed on the ledge of a beam in an 

 old, disused shed, on rough moorland. It contained six eggs. 



On the heaths the Twite, Linota flavirostris (L.), and Linnet, 

 Linota cannabina (L.), were very common. 



We were greatly disappointed with the warblers, that is to say, 

 of what we saw of them. The Reed Warbler, Acrocephalus streperus, 

 y., and Marsh Warbler, Acrocephalus palnstris (Bechst.), were both 

 plentiful, as also the Sedge Warbler, Acrocephalus phragmitis 

 (Bechst.), yet we never took a nest, for it was almost impossible to 

 penetrate the immense beds of reeds which they frequented, owing 

 to the dangerous nature of the ground below, and boats were useless 

 in such places. The Icterine Warbler, Hypolais philomela (L.), 

 Great Reed Warbler, Acrocephalus arundinaceus (L.),. Barred 

 Warbler, Sylvia nisoria (Bechst.), Blackcap, Sylvia atricapilla, L., 

 Wood Warbler, Phylloscopns sibilator, Bechst., Willow Warbler, 

 Phylloscopus trochilus (L.), and no doubt other species, all breed in 

 Denmark in suitable localities, but we saw none of them except the 

 Garden Warbler and the Blackcap. The Grasshopper Warbler, 

 Locustella naevia (Bodd.), appears to be wanting, or at least very 

 scarce. 



Chaffinches, Fringilla coelebs L., and Greenfinches, Lignrinus 

 chloris (L.) were fairly common, and also the Wheatear, Saxicola 

 oenanthe (L.) and Whinchat, Pratincola rubctra (L.), but the Stone- 

 chat, Pratincola rubicola (L.), is scarce. 



Starlings, Sturnus vulgaris, L., House Sparrows. Passer domesticus 

 (L.), Swallows, Hirundo rustica, L., and both the House Martin, 

 Chelidon urbica (L.), and the Sand Martin, Cotile riparia (L.), were 

 all abundant, whilst Jackdaws, Coloens monedula (L.), Spotted 

 Flycatcher, Muscicapa grisola, L., Pied Flycatcher, Muscicapa 

 atricapilla, L., and Ring Doves, Columba palumba, L., Stock Doves,
