26 BROOKS — FALKLAND ISLAND BIRDS 
gins; median and greater wing-coverts similar; primaries and secondaries 
similar, but white margins very narrow, and the inner secondaries having 
a slight cinnamon tinge to the margins; two outer tail-feathers white 
except a narrow fuscous area along quills and basal half of the inner web; 
the two feathers next to these have narrow white margins and small white 
areas at the tips of the inner webs; the rest of the tail-feathers are fuscous 
with narrow white margins, widest on the outer webs; crown of head dark 
brown (this is the last trace of the postnatal plumage); on the lores, about 
the base of the bill and sides of the crown, the juvenal plumage can be 
seen, these feathers being dark brown with pale sandy-buff edges, the same 
coloration appearing on the ear-coverts; throat and breast, sides and 
flanks, light buff heavily streaked with dark brown, leaving the belly white 
tinged with a wash of buff; under tail-coverts white. Second, third, and 
fourth primaries emarginate. 
Measurements.— Type: wing, 94; tarsus, 21; culmen, 13 mm. 
I have placed this new form provisionally in the above genus. 
Eventually a series of adults may show that it belongs elsewhere. 
This single immature specimen is the only finch that was taken 
besides Phrygilus melanoderus (Quoy & Gaim.), though I was 
constantly on the alert for Phrygilus xanthogrammus (Gray). 
Anthus phillipsi sp. nov. 
A series of forty-one pipits was secured on the Falkland Islands. 
They show sufficient differences from other members of the genus 
to justify their separation into a distinct insular race. 
It is with keen pleasure that I dedicate this new species to Dr. 
John C. Phillips, under whose generous auspices I had the pleasure 
of studying the birds of the Falkland Islands. 
Type.— Adult male, no. 70,390 Museum of Comparative Zodlogy. Port 
Stanley, East Falkland Island, Falkland Islands, collected October 30, 
1915, by W. 8S. Brooks. Orig. no. 1037, Phillips Expedition to the Falk- 
land Islands. 
Characters.— Averaging decidedly larger throughout than A. correndera 
Vieillot, but similar in coloration except that the breast is less heavily 
spotted and the black lines along sides of the throat are less conspicuous.
