mens from Norway ; and scarcely, if at all, distinguishable from some 

 young specimens of the common Bengal species, which have the white 

 supercilium more or less developed.) 



*B.Jlaveola, (Tem.) : B. fiava of British authors, passim : B. Raii, Bonap. 

 Male. Algiers. (The crown much darker than in British specimens, and 

 the yellow supercilium, consequently, more strongly contrasting.) 



fAnthus trivialis, (L.) Algiers. 



fA. Richardi, Vieillot. Young female. Sicily. 



~\A. aquaticus, Bechstein. Two specimens : in summer plumage ; Switzerland : 

 winter dress ; Algiers. 



fA. campestris, Vieillot : A. rufescens, Tem. Algiers. (Identical with A. rufulus 

 apud Jerdon et nos ; and the true A* rufulus is decidedly the common A. 

 malayensis, Eyton.) 



Aedon galactotes, (Tem.) Two specimens. Algiers. 



fCisticola cursitans, (Franklin) : C. schcenicola, Bonap. Algiers. (Undistin- 

 guishable from Indian specimens, unless it be that the average size is 

 rather larger, and the black predominates more upon the crown. If pro- 

 cured in India, this Algerian specimen would scarcely be remarked even 

 as a slight variety.) 



Calamodyta aquatica, (Gm.) Two specimens. Sardinia. 



Curruca orphea, (Tem.) Female. Algiers. Distinct from C. Jerdoni, nobis, 

 v. C. orphea apud Jerdon, Catal.)

Caccabis grceca, (Ray) : Perdix saxatilis, Tem. Male and female, Italy. (Only 

 differs from C. chukar of the Himalaya, Afghanistan, &c, in having a 

 purely white throat, and in the ferruginous of the ear-coverts being 

 less marked.)
