This species was identified by sight two or three times near Hakodate, 
but was met to better advantage at Petropavlovsk, where it was one of 
the commonest birds in the birch woods above the town. Young, fledged 
and on the wing, were taken as early as July 20 and it seemed probable 
that these birds and the foregoing species perhaps nested a second time. 
These were birds mainly of the woods, though found also about the tree- 
clumps on the more open hillsides. The sharp alarm note of the parents 
was a too common sound in the ear of the ornithologist.

On May 7 about twenty were met about the village of Hitokappu, 
Yetorup island. In its voice and all its actions it was quite the counterpart 
of the American pipit A. rubescens.

Birds in summer vinaceous plumage. They differ from American birds in similar plumage in 
a little stronger marking on breast. The amount of white in outer tail feathers is not a good test 
as we have British Columbia specimens with much less than either of these exhibit.

At Nikolski, Bering island, August 3, on a hilltop that was a tangle 
of wild flowers and grassy hummocks, several pairs of unknown pipit-like 
birds came overhead to protest against intrusion. One was flushed almost 
underfoot from the heavy vegetation. As Stejneger gives this as one of 
the commonest land birds of Bering island, found everywhere at low 
elevation, it is concluded the above species is the most reasonable probability. 
But this bird was not seen at Petropavlovsk, though A. H. Clark reports 
it “plentiful” there on the lowlands in 1906.

To find pipits inhabiting the woods was at first a novel experience. 
At Petropavlovsk this species was common in the birch woods, where it 
often joined forces with the Black-throated Yellow Wagtail in noisily
