1921 .] Winter Avifauna of the Camargue. 
Emberiza citrinella citrinella L. 
A single bird seen near Arles. Crespon says this species 
is common only in cold weather. 
Emberiza schceniclus schoeniclus L. 
A common species in the marshes. Efforts to find 
E. palustris Savi were unavailing. 
Calandrella brachydactyla brachydactyla (Leisler). 
Only two birds seen in the wastes east o£ Les Saintes 
Maries. Not supposed to occur in this region in winter 
according to the old French authors, and its presence 
possibly due in part to the very mild and warm fall. 
Lullula arborea arborea (L.). 
A few birds in the “ pasture ” near Les Saintes Maries. 
One in full song 30 Dec. 
Alauda arvensis arvensis L. 
Abundant throughout the Camargue. Common near 
Arles. 
Anthus trivialis trivialis (L.). 
Crespon calls the Tree-Pipit of rare occurrence in winter, 
and c Les Richesses 5 does not mention it at this season. 
There was a good-sized flock of these birds with the Wood- 
Larks and Finches in the outskirts of Les Saintes Maries. 
The old French authors may have been mistaken about its 
status in winter. At any rate, I saw two birds near Angers 
on 17 Jan., 1920, much farther north. 
Anthus pratensis (L.). 
Abundant in the wastes of the Camargue. 
Anthus spinoletta spinoletta (L.). 
The Water-Pipit was mingled with the flocks of Meadow- 
Pipits. Only a few birds were positively identified, and it 
was probably commoner than my observations would indicate. 
Motacilla cinerea cinerea Tunstall. 
A single Grey Wagtail was seen near Les Saintes Maries.
