Mr. G. H. Gurnev on 
42. Macronyx wintoni. Red-breasted Long-claw. 
Macronyx wintoni Sharpe. 
Iris brown ; bill and legs brown. 
A single female Red-breasted Long-claw was obtained on 
April 17th near the camp at Kallima Theki. I do not 
think that it can be a very common species, as such a 
conspicuous bird would not be easily overlooked. 
43. Anthus sordidus. Brown Pipit. 
Anthus sordidus Rupp. 
Iris brown; bill and legs brown. 
Specimens of the Brown Pipit were obtained on the 
Kapiti Plains, where it was not uncommon. 
44. Anthus rufulus. Indian Pipit. 
Anthus rufulus (V.). 
Iris brown; bill brown; legs yellowish. 
An extremely abundant species all over the Kapiti Plains. 
45. Anthus tenellus. Yellow-breasted Pipit. 
Anthus tenellus (Cab.). 
Iris and bill dark brown. 
The Yellow-breasted Pipit is a rare bird and was only seen 
on one occasion, when a male in full plumage was shot near 
the Gerei River. It was by itself amongst the small scrub 
which fringes the river, and a thorough search revealed no 
sign of another. It probably has much the same habits as 
Anthus rufulus . 
46. Anthus cervinus. Red-throated Pipit. 
Anthus cervinus (Pall.). 
Iris brown ; bill and legs dark brown. 
This is another species of which only one specimen was 
obtained, whether from our overlooking the birds or from 
their scarcity I am unable to say. 
A female was shot at 01 Donyo Sambuk on January 28th. 
47. Motacilla flava. Black-headed Yellow Wagtail. 
Motacilla flava Linn. 
Iris brown ; bill and legs black. 
This species was abundant everywhere.
