Mr. C. G. Danford on the 
great variation in the, size of the legs and beaks and the 
lengths of the tarsi of specimens proeured in the same locality. 
110. Motacilla alba, L. 
Generally common and resident. 
111. Motacilla melanope, Pall. 
A few were observed during the early months of the year 
at Zebil and Anascha. 
112. Motacilla melanocephala, Gm. 
Very common about the marshy districts of the interior. 
First met with April 30th. 
113. Anthus spinoletta (L.). 
Pretty numerous on the banks of the Sihoun during March. 
All the specimens obtained were in moult, and very ragged 
about the throat. 
114. Anthus trivialis (L.). 
Common in the woods at Anascha, where it arrived April 4. 
115. Anthus pratensis (L.). 
Found in flocks at Gozna and Zebil during the winter 
months. 
116. Anthus cervinus (Pall.). 
This species, which we previously found wintering on the 
sea-coast plains, also occurred during winter in the moun¬ 
tains. Some specimens were obtained on the banks of the 
Sihoun during March which showed no trace of the breeding- 
plumage ; but birds shot in the barren grass-country in the 
beginning of May were in full summer dress. In this part 
of the country the Red-throated Pipit was exceedingly 
common. 
117. Anthus campestris (L.). 
Not common, but well distributed throughout the country. 
A pair shot April 4th were the first of this species seen. 
118. Alauda arvensis, L. 
Large flocks were met with at Zebil in the beginning of 
January. A month later almost all had disappeared. In 
spring they returned and were common in the interior.
