ANTHUS RlCHARDl. Ill 
I took home to England ; and they were identified as belong- 
ing to this species by Mr. Sharpe and Captain Shelley. In 
1874, on the 8th of March, I shot among a lot of A. pratensis 
another bird, which appears to be A. cervinus; but as the 
rufous throat is not developed, though it shows signs of that 
mark of the breeding-pkimage, to determine with certainty 
to which species it really does belong is impossible ; so I 
mention and include it in my list with a view to some future 
collector paying attention to the subject. For my own part 
I have little doubt that A. cervinus does occur on passage in 
Andalucia and Morocco. 
139. Anthus trivialis, Linn. The Tree-Pipit. 
According to Favier this Pipit is common near Tangier 
during migration, crossing the Straits in March and April, 
returning in October and November. On the Spanish side it 
is found on passage only : the 9 th of April is the earliest date 
on which I noticed it ; but I saw many about the 20th. 
Length 6| inches ; hind claw much curved. 
140. Anthus campestris, L. The Tawny Pipit. 
Moorish. Solist {Favier). 
" Found near Tangier on passage in April, returning in 
August, but is not very common. They migrate in pairs and 
keep close together, so that it is very easy to shoot both at 
one shot." — Favier. 
The earliest date on which I saw one at Tangier was on 
the 31st of March. On the Spanish side they appear to fre- 
quent high ground, as on the 1st of May I saw many on the 
open spaces about Ojen, and thence all along to the Venta de 
Subalbarro ; they were not then nesting. I never met with 
them on the low ground. 
141. Anthus richardi, Vieill. Richard's Pipit. 
I shot one on the 1st of March on the shore, evidently just 
arrived, and obtained others on the 20th of April, 1870, not 
again noticing it. 
Length 7f inches ; wing, carpus to tip 3*6 inches ; the hind 
claw is very long and slightly curved.
