This Pipit appears to be exclusively an inhabitant of the 
grassy districts on the higher Andes. It was first discovered 
by D’Orbigny in Bolivia, on the grassy plateau of Biscachal, 
not far from Carcuata, in the province of Yungas, at an ele¬ 
vation of about 10,000 feet above the sea-level. I have 
examined D^Orbigny’s type in the Paris Museum. Mr. 
Buckley obtained specimens at Sical, in Bolivia, which are 
now in Salvin and Godman^s collection. Mr. Jelski met 
with it at Maraynioc and Junin, in Central Peru; one of his 
skins is in my collection. Mr. Fraser obtained a single ex¬ 
ample (also in my collection) in June 1858, in Ecuador, near 
Titiacun, high up on the volcano El Altar, running on 
the ground amongst the grass;and I have other examples 
from the district of Quito. Further north Mr. Wyatt ob¬ 
tained the same species on the Paramo of Pamplona, U. S. of 
Columbia, and Mr. Goering near Merida, in Venezuela, in 
the upper Paramo region;^'’ so that it is doubtless widely dis¬ 
tributed over the higher Andes of South America. 
My original description of Anthus hogotensis was based 
upon Bogota skins, of which I have seen many. I have 
Cf. Baird (Bev. Am. Birds, p. 157), who has consequently made this 
species the type of his genus Pedioc orys.
