PLATE CLV.* FIGURE II. 

 Vanellus gregarius PALLAS. 



A SINGLE example of this Eastern species has been 

 recorded as having been obtained in Great Britain. 

 Little is known respecting its nidification ; eggs have only 

 been obtained from the Moravian colonists at Sarepta, on the 

 Volga. 



The egg is of a clear yellowish brown colour, more or 

 less mottled over with dark reddish brown, chiefly at the 

 larger end.
