Gmelin’s mams Alauda obscura (Syst. Nat. i. p. 801), based upon a 
description of Cetti’s (Stor. Nat. di Ucc. Sard. p. 150), has been placed 
by Gray with doubt as a synonym of Anthus campestris. Should it 
be applicable (as seems not impossible) to any other Anthus than the 
present, Montagu’s name will have to be used for the Bock-Pipit. 
Plate 138 of Gould’s Birds of Europe, as pointed out by Strickland 
(Ann. & Mag. N. H. viii. p. 372), represents this species, but the 
propriety of adding Anthus rupestris , Nilss. to its synonyms may be 
questioned ( cf. Newton l. s. c.),
