The European Tree-Pipit, Figs. 83, 84.âHead and foot of A. irivialis. Coloration. Upper plumage sandy brown with large black streaks or centres to the feathers except the rump and upper tail-coverts which are very faintly marked; coverts and quills of wing dark brown margined with pale fulvous; tail dark brown with narrow pale margins, the outermost feather about half white, the white and brown meeting diagonally; the penultimate feather with a small white tip; a pale fulvous superciliura ; sides of the head mixed brown and fulvous; lower plumage white tinged with ful- vous ; a short black moustachial streak; the wbole breast and the sides of the throat with large, well-defined black streaks; the sides of the body tinged with olivaceous and indistinctly streaked. The young bird after the autumn moult resembles the adult, but is tinged with bright fulvous, especially on the throat and breast. Iris dark brown ; legs and feet flesh-colour; bill dark brown above, pale brown below tipped with dusky. Length about 6-5; tail 2-7; wing 3-5 ; tarsus "85 ; bill from gape "6; hind claw about -3. JDistributioii. A winter visitor to the western portions of the Empire. Judging from the specimens I have examined this species is found as far south as Belgaum and as far east as Manbhoom in Chutia Nfigpur. Many years ago Hume identified a Pipit I sent to him from Pegu as this species, but I remember that the skin was a very bad one and I think it not improbable that some mistake was made regarding it. This bird winters in South- western Asia and in Africa, and summers in Europe and Northern Asia.
