trees at Cliasna "^ iu April/^ Bolle's notes in J. f. O. 1854, 

 p. 455j MwdiGx Anthus trivialis, he later (J. f. O. 1857, p. 289) 

 states refer to Anthiis campestris^ but he appears to have 

 confused the bird with Anthiis hertheJoti ! Curiously enough 

 Meade-Waldo only saw two examples during the three years 

 (1887-90) which he spent in the Canaries (Ibis, 1893, p. 191). 

 One of these was probably the bird that found its way into 

 the Cabrera collection (Ibis, 1889; p. 515) and this is the 

 species which that ornithologist records in 1893 as a frequent 

 migrant in September (Catalogo, p. 44) . 



Polatzek found it to be a regular bird of passage in 

 autumn in most of the eastern islands (Orn. Jahrb. 1909, 

 p. 1.26). He gives an account of a migratory movement in 

 Lanzarote, when on 14 October, 1904, many Tree-Pipits 

 appeared after a strong north-west wind succeeded by a 

 strong south wind. The birds remained until 17 October 

 in the neighbourhood of Haria, when the north wind 

 dropped, and they all disappeared. The Tree-Pipits were 

 in company with hundreds of Pied Flycatchers (Orn. Jahrb. 

 1909, p. 122). 



Von Thanner has kept and published, mostly in the 

 ' Ornithologische Jahrbuch,^ a record of the l)irds of this 

 species t which he has himself noted and which I here 

 include tabulated under the calendar months in which 

 the bird was recorded. References are given in every case, 

 so that the original record may be easily found. All 

 records are von Thanner's unless otherwise noted.
