SYNONYMY OF ANTHUS LUDOVICIANUS 193 



first one to our country. Weocorys spraguii* should be found 

 in the Colorado Basin, but has not been, so far as I know. A 

 careful description and a full account of the habits of this inter- 

 esting bird is given in the " Birds of the Northwest", to which 

 the reader is referred. A typical Anthus, A. pratensis, is occa- 

 sionally found in Greenland {Reinh. J. f. O. 1854, 439; Ibis, 

 1861, 6) and Alaska ; another, A. cervinus, is said to occur in 

 the Aleutian Islands {Zander, J. f. O. i. 1853, Extrah. 1854, 64). 

 With these exceptions, the following is the only known North 

 American species of Anthus : — 



American Pipit, or Titlark 



Antbas Indovlcianns
