Text Appearing Before Image:
e feathersbordered with clear russet; crop and flanks markedwith a greater number of more elongated spots. My figure is a male in the breeding plumage, shotby Mr. Tristram, at Kif Laid, April 22nd., 1857. Theegg from which my figure is taken was also kindlysent me by the same gentleman, who remarks, Thisegg is very variable, though not so much so as that ofA. arhoreus. Some of my specimens approach those of 178 TAWNY PIPIT. the Pied Wag-tail; in others the russet spots are as lar^e^,thick, and bright, as in Sylvia galactodes,. which eggthis variety exactly resembles.
