126 THE ZOOLOGIST. 



Meabow 'PiviT (Anthus pi'atensis) . 



Evidently a common nesting species ; in large numbers also 

 in November and December. Fairly common on Lemnos in 

 January. 



Eed-thkoated Pipit (Anthus cervinus). 



I saw a number of Pipits which were almost certainly of 

 this species during October and November ; I became quite 

 familiar with this bird in Egypt, especially during the spring 

 of 1915, and am fairly confident that I identified these correctly. 



[Tawny Pipit {Anthus campestr^is) . 



On August 17th I saw a bird that I took to be of this 

 species, which I saw commonly in Egypt in the spring.] 



I saw several other species of Pipits, almost certainly in- 

 cluding the Rock Pipit, but was never able to examine them 

 sufficiently closely. 



Lesser Grey Shrike (Lanius minor). 



First seen on May 12th ; a great increase on the following 

 day and May 14th ; none to be seen in June. I think a few 

 bred on the Peninsula, as I saw a few during July and August, 

 and I believe that a number of young Shrikes seen in the centre 

 in July and at the beginning of August were of this species. 



There was an increase on August 21st. 



Eed-backed Shrike {Lanius collurio). 



First seen on May 10th ; increase on May 13th and 14th, but 

 I saw none after that date. They possibly may breed on the 

 Peninsula in normal times, for I saw them on Imbros on July 9th 

 and 11th. 



WooDCHAT Shrike {Lanius auriculatus) . 



I saw one on the Peninsula in the middle of May and a 

 couple together on several occasions during June and July. I 

 also saw it on Imbros on July 9th and 11th. 



Masked Shrike {Lanius nubicus). 



Two on June 23rd and one a short time before ; this species 

 was to be seen in July and in August, and was not uncommon 

 near the water-towers on the French side. 



Spotted Flycatcher {Muscicapa grisola). 



Several on May 20th in the centre — the only ones seen. On 

 September 16th I saw one on a hospital ship in Mudros Harbour, 

 Lemnos.
