412 A TENTATIVE CATALOGUE OF THE BIRDS OF 



it which is common throughout the region, and yet omitted 

 in both of their lists ? Mr. Vidal has not observed it in 

 Ratnagiri, and I have never seen it about Belgaum. 



597.— Anthus trivialis, Lin. The European Tree- 

 Pipit. 



Cold weather visitant. Common throughout the region.

 Lark. 



Permanent resident. Common throughout the region. 

 Breeds plentifully about Belgaum. 



? 601.— Corydalla striolata, Blyth. The Large Tit- 

 Lark. 



Recorded by Mr. Fairbank as "not uncommon in the 

 Deccan." I have no other record of its occurrence. _ It is not 

 included by Messrs. Wenden and Davidson in their list of 

 Deccan species, nor by Mr. Vidal in his Ratnagiri paper, 

 neither have I observed or heard of it about Belgaum. Mr. 

 Hume has never seen a specimen from the Deccau, and thinks 

 it possible that Mr. Fairbank may not have correctly identified 

 the species. 



602.— Agrodroma campestris, Lin. The Stone- 

 Pipit. 



Cold weather visitant. Recorded by Mr. Fairbank as " com- 

 mon in the Deccan/' It is not included in Mr. Vidal's Ratnagiri 

 list, nor in Messrs. Wenden and Davidson's paper, neither have 

 I noticed it about Belgaum. Jerdon remarks, " most abundant 

 in the Deccan/' 



603. — Agrodroma similis, Jerd. The Kufous Rock- 

 Pipit. 



Rare. Mr. Fairbank obtained a single specimen on the 

 Imampur Ghat, near Nagar, and remarks, " that he has 

 observed others in the same neighbourhood on the hill sides." 

 I have no other record of its occurrence throughout the region. 



604. — Agrodroma sordida, Btipp. The Brown Rock- 

 Pipit. 



Jerdon obtained this species at Jalna in the Deccan, on 

 rocky ground, at the edge of stony ravines.
