416 AVIFAUNA OF CHOTA NAGPUR. 



160.— Motacilla duklmnensis, Sykes. (591.) 



I have one specimen of what I take to be the Black-faced 

 Wagtail from Chota Nagpur, and another from the Rajmehal 

 hills. In the Satpuras the species met with were M. luzoni- 

 ensis and M. personata* 



161.— Calobates melanops, Becks. (592.) 



The Grey and Yellow Wagtail is not uncommon in streams 

 passing through jungle. 



162.— Budytes flava, Lin. (593 Ms.) 



This appears to be the common species of Indian Field 

 Wagtail which occurs in Chota Nagpur. It is found on grassy 

 plains during the cold weather. B. cltreola occurs also I believe, 

 out I have no specimen by me at present. 



163 — Antlius arboreus (agilis), Becks. (596.) 



Whether this or the next species of Tree Pipit is the more 

 common in Chota Nagpur I cannot say, as it was some time 

 before I was able to distinguish the species. I am indebted to 

 Mr. Brooks for showing me how to do so. 



Six birds recently obtained in the Satpuras belong to this 

 species. 



All my sexed specimens are unfortunately females. The 

 measurements of two are : — 



Ghota Nagpur ? Wing 34 ; Tail 26 ; Tarsus 8; Bill from gape '65 

 Satpura hills ? „ 335 „ 2 5 „ '8 „ „ „ -7 



164.— Antlms maculatus, Blyth. (597.) 



Two specimens from Chota Nagpur. Measure in inches : : — 

 Singhbhurn Wing 3-4 ; Tail 2 4 ; Tarsus -85 ; Bill from gape, '7 

 Barakar „ 34 „ 2'4 „ '8 „ „ „ *7 



165.— Corydalla Ricliardi, Vieill. (599.) 



The Laro-e Marsh Pipit was obtained at Assensole (which is 

 o-eographically, though not politically, within our limits) by Mr. 

 Brooks ( Stray Feathers, Vol. I., p. 358). It also appears in the 

 Indian Museum Catalogue from Singhbhurn. 



166.— Corydalla rufula, Vieill. (600.) 



The Indian Titlark is very common in the open parts 

 throughout Chota Nagpur. I have it also from Calcutta and 

 the Satpuras. The wing in none of these exceeds 3"1. The 

 hind claw averages about *5.
