Abstract
ON September 18, 1908, a fine, typical male of Anthus bertheloti, Bolle, the common Canary Islands pipit, was caught near Cremona, the first of its kind obtained in Italy. I received the interesting specimen “in the flesh.” On March 16 of this year Mr. W. P. Pycraft presented at the meeting of the Zoological Spciety of London an account of the fossilised remains of a small Passerine bird from the “Gabbro” (Lower Pliocene) near Leghorn, which he identified as those of Berthelot's pipit (see NATURE, p. 119). The coincidence is certainly worth noting.
