Avifauna of Itahj. 183 



it was shot in the IMaremma, at Belforte, on the 30th of No- 

 vember 1863. 



Dromol/EA leucopygia (Brehm). 



Collection of C. A. Wright, Esq. ; shot on the 18th of 

 April 1872 in Malta. 



Saxicola leucomela (Pall.). 



Male, in the Civic Museum, Genoa ; shot at Cornegliano 

 in December 1860. 



Anthus obscurus (Lath.) . 



One specimen is mentioned by Mr. C, A. Wright as having 

 come into his hands in Malta. 



Melanocorypha yeltoniensis (Forst.). 

 A specimen caught in Piedmont in 1808 was figured by 

 Bonelli, but unfortunately not preserved. 



Ammomanes cinctura (Gould). 



A single female, obtained by Mr. C. A. Wright in Malta 

 in April 1867, and now in Mr. Dresser's collection. The A. 

 deserti mentioned by Mr. Wright as being in Dr. Schembri's 

 possession in Malta is probably to be referred to the lesser 

 species. Salvadori includes it in his work as A. lusitana. 



Calandrella minor (Cab.) . 



A single specimen, in Mr. Dresser's collection, obtained in 

 Malta by C. A. Wright, Esq., in November 1862. 



Erythrospiza githaginea (Licht.). 



One male specimen, netted near Pisa in the spring of 1839, 

 now in the Pisa Museum ; a second, female, netted at Cologno 

 (Verona) in the autumn of 1850, now in Signor Carraro's 

 collection at Verona (Municipal Palace). In Malta it is not 

 unfrequent; and specimens exist in the collections of Schembri, 

 Wright, and Dresser, caught on that island. 



Agel^us phceniceus (Linn.). 



A male, caught at Bellinzago in October 1864, is in Count 

 Camozzi's collection at Bergamo. I have reason to believe 

 that a specimen of this species was plucked and roasted in the 

 Florence market in November 1877.
