Ornithology of Sardinia. 245 



100. MOTACILLA SULPHUREA. 



Common all the year. They breed in the mountains along 

 the small streams. I saw a young bird flying on the 1st of 

 May. 



101. BUDYTES FLAVA. 



Early in May I met several small flocks at St. Antioco on 

 their passage northwards. Very few, if any, remain in the 

 island to breed. 



102. Anthus aquaticus. 



Not uncommon in winter. 



103. Anthus pratensis. 

 Very abundant on the plain. 



104. Anthus arboreus. 



I never saw one, although Cara says it is resident. There 

 is one specimen in the Cagliari museum. 



105. Anthus cervinus. 

 Rare. 



106. Anthus campestris. 



Passes in spring in small numbers ; and, I think, some re- 

 main to breed. They are very partial to semicultivated lands ; 

 and I generally found them in old deserted vineyards &c. 



107. Alauda arvensis. 



Extremely common, breeding in large numbers on the plain. 



108. Alauda arborea. 



Very numerous all the year round. I found a nest finished 

 on the 7th of April; and on the 16th the old bird was sitting 

 on five eggs. 



109. Calandrella brachydactyla. 



Arrives in great numbers in the beginning of April, and 

 breeds. None remain during winter. These birds prefer the 

 most barren and open parts of the plain, where they are ex- 

 tremely numerous. 



110. Melanocorypha calandra. 



This fine Lark is extremely common on the plain all the 

 year round. They seem to have a strong power of mi-
