440 Dr. E. Hartert on Birds from 



S ad. Bulun, 8. vii. 1903. " Hill black ; legs brown ; 

 eyes dark." 



64. Anthus cervinus (Pall.). 



Motacilla cervina Pallas, Zoogr. Rosso-Asiat. i. p. 511 

 (1831: E. Siberia). 



Bulun, mouth of the river; common. (Nos. 190,200, 

 242, 245, 249, 254, 250, 257, 258, 202, 203, 279, 280, 2<S1, 

 282, 283, 31G, 317.) 



" Bill brown, with base of the lower mandible yellowish ; 

 legs pale; iris dark brown." 



I suppose this to be only a subspecies of our Meadow- 

 Pipit. 



[These Pipits have a rather melancholy note.] 



05. Anthus trivialis trivialis (L.). 



Alauda trivialis Linnseus, Syst. Nat. ed. x. p. 100 (1758: 

 Sweden). 



Common at Gigalowa, Ustkutsk, and Vitim. (Nos. 5, 9, 

 49, 51, 59, 75, 79.) 



It is interesting to find here, still in the Baikal district, 

 the European form, while further north it is represented by 

 A. trivialis maculatus. 



60. Anthus trivialis maculatus (Oates). 



Pipastes maculatus Oates, B. Brit. Burmah, i. p. 171 (1883 : 

 ex Iiodgs. MS., Burma). 



It seems that Mr. Oates was the first to describe properly 

 the Pipit now known under the name of maculatus. Hodgson 

 never diagnosed it. 



Gigansk, Nahtynskaja, and 200 miles north of Yakutsk. 

 (Nos. 153, 339, 341, 342, 391.] 



" Upper mandible dark brown ; legs and lower mandible 

 pale brown." 



07. Anthus richardi Vieill. 



Anthus richardi Vieillot, Nouv. Diet. d'Hist. Nat. xxvi 

 p. 491 (1818: France). 



Found commonly on the Upper Lena at Ustkutsk, Yakutsk, 

 and Gigalowa. (Nos. 27, 36, 52, 54, 58, 138, 161, 392.)
