37T) ANTHUS RUPESTRIS.— A. CAMPESTRIS. 



[The folluwing belong to the form known as Anthus nipestris, Nilsson.] 



§ 1905. Three. — Lille Vadso, East Finmark, 4 June, 1S55. 



Probably Anthus ri'pestris, for I have shot (and compared with 

 K)serbolling's account [Danmarks Fugle, p. 143]) that bird in this 

 [V^aratiger] Fjord. The eggs were found to-day by one of the twin 

 lads Aspisen. The nest now before me is lined with very fine round 

 grass. The lad said the bird was brown, and light beneath, and was 

 not the Shore-Lark, of which I held a specimen in my hand. It was 

 on the island, Lille Vadso. The eggs were several days incubated. 



§ 1906. Four. — Lille Vadso, East Eiinnark, June, 1855. 



Found by a lad who had previously brought in a similar nest of 

 eggs from the same island. They seem to be Anthus r'upestris. 

 The nest of sheep-grass with a very little rein-hair. 



ANTHUS CAMPESTRIS (Linnaeus). 



TAWNY PIPIT. 



§ 1967. Mve.—Am Djendeli, Algeria, 12 May, 1857. " 0. S." 

 From Mr. Salvin and Mr. Simpson. 



The nest was swamped by the irrigation of the field, and was 

 shewn to them by an Arab deserted. 



[Mr. Salvin's observations on this species (under the synonym of A. rufescens) 

 in Algeria will be found in 'The Ibis' for 1859 (pp. 310, -311). I believe 

 I am right in assigning the above five eggs to the same nest ; but my friends 

 shared its contents and afterwards gave them to Mr. WoUey and my brother.] 



§ 1 96S. Two.— Am Djendeli, 13 May, 1857. " 0. S." From 

 Mr. Salvin. 



These seem to have been from a nest on which Mr. Salvin caught 

 the bird. 



§ 1969. One.—U May, 1857. From Mr. Tristram.
