NOVITATES ZOOLOMCAE XXV. 1918. 25 



106. Anthus major Brehm = Anthus spinoletta spinoletta. 

 Anthus major Brehm, Naumannia, 1856. p. 341 * (" Selten in strengen Wintern "). 

 Type : S ad., 25. i. 1839, Rodatal, C. L. Brehm leg. 



107. Anthus orientalis Brehm = Anthus spinoletta coutellii. 

 Anthus orientalia Brehm, Yogelfang, p. 138. 1856— Asia. Cf. Vog. -pal. Fauna, p. 281). 



Type : ? ad., Kenneh in Egypt, 5.11. 1852. E. A. Brehm leg. 



[Anthus littoralis Brehm = Anthus spinoletta litioralis. 

 Anthus-littoralis Brehm, Lehrh. Naturg. eur. Yog: i. p. 239 (1823— "Nur 2 3 Anf. Okt. 1822 an der 

 Ostsee von Schilling gesammelt "). 



The type of this form is not in the collection, no specimen dating from 

 October 1822. The above description is the first. Between it and the one of 

 1831, which has hitherto been quoted as the first, is one of Isis, 1828. p. 55.] 



108. Budytes chlorocephalus Brehm = Motacilla flava flava. 



Budytes chlorocepJiahts Brehm, Naumannia, 1851. 2. p. 24 (Renthendorf). 



Type: 5 (with paired ?), Renthendorf, 23. iv. 1832. C. L. Brehm leg. 



There is now only this pair in the collection named chlorocephalus. The 

 male is a very interesting bird, the centre of the crown being green, thus closely 

 resembling old males of M. flava rayi. It is, as the date shows, of course not 

 an autumn bird, as I erroneously said in Vog. pal. Fauna, p. 287. 



*109. Budytes pygmaens A. E. Brehm = Motacilla flava pygmaea. 

 Budytes pygmaeus A. E. Biehm, Journ. f. Orn. 1854. p. 74 (" Nordost-Afrika "). 



Type : <? ad., Lower Egypt, January 1850. Oskar Brehm leg. 



This small, white-throated form is an excellent subspecies, which breeds 

 in Egypt. Having examined only the type specimen, I imagined that it was 

 an aberrant example, but Ticehurst and Mcoll have shown that it nests in 

 Egypt. Cf. Vog. pal. Fauna, i. p. xxix. note 3. 



110. Budytes fasciatus Brehm = Motacilla flava flava. 

 Budytes fasciatus Brehm, Vogelfang, p. 141 (1855—" Galizien und Ungarn ") ; but see Naumannia, 

 i. 1861. 4. p. 19! 



The type would be an adult cj Gahcia, 5. v. 1852, collected by Count 

 Wodzicki, but the name appeared already in Naumannia, i. 1851. 4. p. 19, where 

 H. Zander called a male from South France " B. fasciatiiB Brehm." 



111. Budytes megarhynchos Brehm = Motacilla, flava cinereocapilUif 



Bvdytes megarhynchos Brehm, Isis, 1842. p. 578 (" Dalmatien *'). 



Type : 3 ad. (with paired ?), Dalmatia, 4. vii. 1830. 



Though these specimens were first labelled Budytes cinereocapillus longirostris, 

 and then altered albicollis, they are clearly the types oi megarhynchos 1842. 



* In Vog. pal. Fauna, p. 280, I quoted A. majm- as a nomen nudum of A. E. Brehm, but in 

 1856, I.e., it is described. To the synonyms on p. 280 must be added : , 



■ , ; Anthus rivalis Brehm^ Nawnannia, 1856. p. 342 (Erdmannsdqrfer Wiesen near, B.enthendorf 

 and South Fiance). The only specimen marked, ni^Ma is one from Triest. ., • , ,, .,, ; .
