In 1963 I again reviewed the skins of Water Pipits in the collection of the Institute of Zoology, Academy of Sciences of the USSR and those collected by me in northeast- ern Asia from the Chukchi peninsula to Kuril, and was convinced once again of the actual existence of the subspecies A. s. japonicus and A. s. hdrmsi. Chukchi and Anadyr specimens undoubtedly represent A. s. hdrmsi in color and size. The zone of distribution of the large, dark, and spoted A. s. japonicus commences from southern Kamchatka and encompasses at least the northern Kurile Islands. Specimen—1) Providence Bay, July 6, 1938, 9, Fig. 25. Subspecies of Water Pipit Anthus spinoletta (L.). Adult males; a—A. s. hdrmsi Sar.; b—A. s. japonicus Temm. and Schleg. Male yearlings: c—A. s. hdrmsi; d—A. s. japonicus. 126. Anthus cervina cervina (Pall.)— Red-throated Pipit Distribution and status—This species nests on the Chukchi peninsula, but their distribution is erratic. It is not rare on the south coast, at places even abundant in the interior of the country, but rare on the north coast. It flies away in winter. It was noticed once in spring on Wrangel Island. Belopol'skii (1933, 1934) noticed the Red-throated Pipit in Krest Bay. Brooks (1915) encountered this species on June 20 and 21, 1913, in small numbers and obtained specimens from Providence Bay. C. Amory (Riley, 1918) collected some young pipits on August 5, 1914, in Emma Bay. On September 7, 1934, I very distinctly heard the chirp of a Red-throated Pipit in the upper part of Emma Bay,.
