267. Anthus obscura rupestris Nilsson. [Oeverpieper]. 



This pipit is a common visitor to our shore in winter. 

 We received three specimens killed in October, December 

 and January. As the specimens in our collection shot in 

 March and April have a reddish tinge on the breast, it 

 seems that the rock-pipit, which visits the Netherlands, 

 belongs to the Scandinavian form. 



268. Anthus richardi Vieillot. [Groote pieper]. 



We possess the following specimens: 

 young Q, October 1841, near Haarlem; 

 adult, 1 October 1857, Ridderkerk a/d IJssel, Zuid-Holland ; 

 young d\ 24 October 1890, 's Gravenzande, Zuid-Holland ; 

 adult cf , 26 October 1898, dunes near 's Gravenhage.
