82 BRITISH BIRDS. [ VoL. XI. 
(No. 207). We met with this species singing and evidently 
at its nesting-stations as follows: Cliffs on the edge of the 
plateau above Subiaco (June 27, 1913), 1,250 m.; wood 
east of M. Calvo, 1,550 m.; by M. Livata, 1,400 m. ; several 
along ridge between the Faito and M. Tarino (June 29), 
1,600 to 1,850 m.; near Morra Menti, 1,450 m.; near 
M. Autore, and at the wood-limit on that mountain, 1,650 
to 1,850 m. ; edge of Campo della Pietra, 1,450 m. ; at limit 
of wood south of M. Viglio, 1,750 m., and south of M. Cotento, 
1,800 m. (July 4). 
3. ALPINE Prpir (A. s. spinoletta). —‘‘ Not equally dis- 
tributed, less abundant in the southern parts’ (No. 210). 
This species was plentiful on all the higher pastures of the 
Mi. Simbruini; we found a nest with four eggs at about 
1,900 m. on M. Tarino, on June 29, 1913. 
4, TREE-CREEPER (Certhia f. macrodactyla).—‘‘ I have also 
had it from the Tuscan Apennine, but do not know whether 
it is resident there”? (No. 114). We met with a family 
party on the eastern slope of M. Cotento (about 1,650 m.) 
on July 4, 1913. I have also seen the species in winter 
and early spring in two of the beechwoods near Guadagnolo 
(Mi. Prenestini), at about 1,000 m., but am not certain that 
it spends the summer there. 
5. Iratian Marsu-Trr (Parus p. ttalicus).—‘ Specie pit 
distribuita nell’alta Italia, scarsa nel rimanente ” (No. 108), 
which may perhaps be translated : ‘‘ More general in Upper 
Italy, infrequent in the remainder.” The latter should 
certainly not be applied to the Monti Simbruini and Prenestini, 
where it is common in all the beechwoods, always 
outnumbering P. ater ater. 
6. CoLLARED FLycaTcHER (Muscicapa collaris)—Of this 
species (No. 85 in his List) Arrigoni states: ‘‘ Nests in the 
Alps, in the Tuscan Apennine and in Liguria”; in his 
Manuale di Ornitologia Italiana (Milano, 1904) he adds: 
‘““and perhaps in Calabria.”” We met with this species in 
the Monti Simbruini, between June 28 and July 5, 1913, 
as follows: Family down slope below Trinita, 1,050 m. ; 
pair close to Trinita, 1,330 m. ; pair in wood west of M. Autore, 
1,750 m.; male at edge of wood on M. Autore, 1,820 m. ; 
male at top of wood below M. Tarino, 1,850 m.; in bushes 
among the rocks near Filettino, 1,100 m.; in tall beech 
wood on east slope of M. Cotento, c. 1,650 m. 
7. KENTISH PLOVER (Charadrius a. alecandrinus).—“‘ Fairly 
frequent in Venetia, Tuscany, Apulia and Sardinia ”’ (No. 327). 
Latium should certainly be added, as the species is quite 
numerous on the suitable parts of the coast, especially near 
the Tiber mouth.
