THE ROCK PIPIT. 133 



The late Mr. Wheelwright makes no mention 

 of this bird when treating of the ornithology of 

 Lapland. Messrs. Godman met with it on the 

 seashore at Bodo, Norway, " in tolerable abun- 

 dance," and Mr. Hewitson also saw it in Nor- 

 way. Although Temminck says that it goes as 

 far north as Greenland, this does not appear to 

 be the case ; for Professor Reinhardt, who has 

 paid especial attention to the ornithology of 

 Greenland, states that only two species of Pipit 

 are to be met with there — namely, the American 

 Anthus ludovicianus, which breeds there, and 

 A. pratensis, of which, as above stated, a single 

 specimen only is recorded to have been obtained. 

 It is rather remarkable that Professor Blasius 

 has not included the Rock Pipit in the avifauna 

 of Heligoland, seeing that A. cervinus, A. ludo- 

 vicianus, and A. Richardi are all stated to have 

 been taken on that island.^
