Turdus ruficollis atrogularis Temin. (4 skins.) 



A comnion winter vi.^itor, but rather variablo in numbers 

 and times of appearance. It is particularly partial to canal- 

 banks. 



During the winter of 1917-1918 I only saw five indi- 

 viduals on various dates between the 1st and 23rd of 

 February. 



In the winter of 1918-1919 the first individual was seen 

 on 9 November, and occasional birds wore noticed about 

 until the middle of January, when there was a marked 

 increase which continued until the end of February ; 

 occasional birds were noted until the end of March. 



In the winter of 1919-1920 it was not seen until 

 19 December, a few odd birds only putting in their appear-

 it was not observed.

about deserted brick-kilns^ which are the nearest substitute 



for rocky ground I 



(Enanthe deserti albifrons (Brandt). (12 skins.) 



The Desert-Wheatear is a common and generally dis- 

 tributed winter visitor, being particularly abundant on the 

 wide, barren plains. It is the latest of the genus to arrive, 

 only an occasional individual appearing before October. 

 It leaves early in March and all are gone by the end of 

 the month. The low, sweet soug is occasionally heard 

 dui'ing the winter months.
