385. Distribution. — Exterminated in main Surrey breeding -haunt by severe 

 weather in 1917. 



586. The Rufous Warbler. 



Nestling. — No down, skin black. Mouth inside orange -yellow, no 

 tongue-spots, externally flanges white (J. H. Stenhouse, Ibis, 1921, 

 p. 584). 



395. The Fieldfare. 



Distribution. — Early dates Wilts., Sept. 2, 1922, Cumberland Sept. 

 7, 1922, 



400. The British Song-Thrush. 



Turdus ericetorum Turton, Brit. Fauna, p. 35 (1807 — solitary heaths in 

 England, ex Lewin, Brit. B., it, pi. 53, text), which has been proposed 

 as the correct name of the British Song -Thrush (see Mathews and 

 Iredale, Brit. B., xvn, p. 47) cannot be adopted because the author 

 expressly says that it is not the Song-Thrush, and since by description 

 and figure it has a much shorter tail and a ' ' black mark passing through 

 the eye." In fact the description suits better some of the smaller North 

 American Thrushes. 



403. The Hebridean Song-Thrush. 



Has occurred in Ayrshire on migration (Oct. 7, 1922). Song-Thrushes 

 from Mull are intermediate in colour between T. ph. clarkei and T. ph. 

 hebridensis (R. Meinertzhagen, Bull. B.O.C. xliv, p. 37), as also are some 

 from Coll. (H.F.W.) 



406. The Redwing-. 



Distribution. — Early date Aug. 4, 1922, Shropshire. 



417. The Alpine Ring-Ouzel.

 quatus (B. B. Riviere in litt.). 



434. 179. CEnanthe deserti atrogularis (Blyth). — The Eastern Desert- 

 Wheatear. 

 Saxicola atrogularis Blyth, Journ. Asiatic Soc. Bengal, xvi, 

 p. 131 (1847 — Upper Provinces, Sind, etc.) 

 instead of (E. d. albifrons (Brandt) which is preoccupied by Saxicola 

 albifrons Rtippell. See Mathews and Iredale, Austr. Av. Rec, 1 ~, 

 p. 160 (1921), and C. B. Ticehurst, Ibis, 1922, p. 158. 



441. 182. CEnanthe leucomela leucomela (Pallas) — The Pied Wheatear. 



Motacilla leucomela Pallas, Nov. Comm. Petr., xiv, p. 584, 

 pi. 22, fig. 3 (" 1770," but not published until 1771 — Lower Volga, 

 Altai, Dauria, terra typica accepted Lower Volga) 



instead of (E. p. pleschanka because Lepechin is not consistently 



binomial.

477. The Lapland Bluethroat.

 instead of C. c. britannicus Tschusi. See Mathews and Iredale, Austr. 

 Av. Rec, V, pp. 63-4.
