237. GLAREOLA PRATINCOLA (L.). 
Very plentiful in spring on the plains of Huleh, where it breeds, 
and also on the plains of Gennesaret and of Acre. 
238. VANELLUS crRisTaTus, Mey. 
Common in winter throughout the country. Returns to the north 
early in March. 
239. Hopioprerus srrnosus (Hasselq.).

outer rectrices are pure white, in C. mongolicus all the tail-feathers 
have alike a broad bar of brown across them.
