ANTHUS CERVINUS. 373 



of Herr Skencke's house. It was ou the ground, rather under the 

 crowberry-bushes. I many times saw the hen bird on the nest, and 

 got close to her — an extremely well-marked example, very dark on 

 the chin. The eggs were not much sat upon. 



[There were five eggs in this nest ; but two passed at Mr. Stevens's rooms 

 on the 30th of May, 1860, into the possession of Mr. Tristram and Mr.Troughton. 

 One of the specimens still in the collection formed the subject of the very bad 

 figure given by Dr. Bree {ut mipru), and another is figured in the present 

 work.]

O. W. tab. xi. fig. 11. 



In a nest of young birds, which from the look of the es:g we 

 at first supposed to be Lapp Buntings— for there was one of the 

 latter flitting around with the usual cry of anxiety. Afterwards we 

 saw the Pipit on the nest quite distinctly, and I shot it. It was a 

 hen A. rufigularis — the spots on the breast large. There Avere no 

 feathers in the nest'. The young were some days old— the egg 

 probably addled, but not dry. Had we not seen the hen bird, we 

 should certainly have gone away with the conviction that the nest 

 was a Lapp Bunting's, though Mr. Newton had before remarked ou 

 the absence of the palatal knob in the young birds. 



§ 1947. xS'/.r.— Nyborg, 3 July, 1855. "Bird caught. J. W." 



The nest was not far from the house to the eastward, and the 

 bird was caught upon it by me and skinned. Probably a second 

 laying. 



§ 1948. Fo//r. — Kieli-jiirwi strand, 11 July, 1857. 



From a nest of five found by Ludwig on his i-eturn from Norway. 

 The cock bird causrht. 



[Featliers, as already stated (page .'J71, note '), seem to be always used by the 

 Lapp Bunting, but never by thi^ I'ipit.— Ed.]
