THE GREY-HEADED YELLOW WAGTAIL. 
(MoraciLta ViIrRIDIS.) 
Rejected from the B.O.U. List. 
Noticed by Newton in a note on ‘ Flava, 
Omitted by Seebohm. 
The bird alluded to in the B.O.U. List was shot near 
Penzance; and is in Mr. Rodd’s collection. The species 
seems undetermined, but Gould’s opinion that it was 
Viridis-Cinereocapilla has been controverted. 
My set of five eggs of M. Viridis taken in Lapland, 
June 16, 1883, in size are like ‘Raii,’ but colder grey in 
tint; and rounder in form. They are like pale Meadow 
Pipit’s. 
THE AMERICAN TITLARK. 
( ANTHUS LUDOVICIANUS.) 
Rejected from the B.O.U. List. 
Rejected by Newton. 
Ranked by Seebohm, 
under ‘ Spinoletta’ as a variety. 
Newton however in his note to ‘Obscurus,’ speaking 
of the birds shot by Mc. Gillivray June 2, 1824, says that 
his more elaborate description appears certainly to be 
that of the American A. ‘ Ludovicianus ’ which seems to 
point to genuine occurrences of the bird. 
Mr. Seebohm states that Ludovicianus is but the 
Nearctic form of Spinoletta ( Campestris). 
I have received eggs of Ludovicianus exactly similar 
from two sources ; namely, two eggs taken by Herr Mésch- 
ler's collector in Labrador; and three eggs collected for
