THE Tree Pipit is found throughout the European continent—in
Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, plentifully in France and Italy, the
forests of Tlmringia, and in Switzerland, as also in Madeira. It
probably winters in Africa, and is found in Asia—in Japan.
It is rather a common species with us, even in Yorkshire, but
principally in the southern counties. In Cornwall, however, it is said
to be rare, and also rather so in Wales. In the former two or three
examples w ere met with at Fcndcnnis, in April, 18G4-. Others, I
believe, in other places; in fact, Mr. J. B. Kowe, F.L.S., states it to
be common in that county.
In Ireland it is not certainly known to occur. In Scotland it is
recorded in Caithnesshire and in East Lothian. In Orkney it is an
occasional visitant. It is said by Clouston to have occurred in Sanday.
