--In July, 1936, Paul Silook collected a Red-throated Pipit (Antbus cervinus) at Gambell, St.
Lawrence Island, Bering Sea (Friedmann, Condor, 39, 1937:91). In 1938, Silook sent another pipit
from St. Lawrence Island to the United States National Museum. This specimen has remained un-
studied until now and proves to be a second Red4hroated Pipit in the identical fresh "basic" (winter)
plumage which Friedmann described for the previous specimen.
The Red-throated Pipit breeds on the Palearctic tundra from Scandinavia to easternmost
Siberia (see map under "A. ru]ogularis" in Stresemann and Portenko, Atlas der Verbreitung pal.
V6g., Lief. 1, 1960). The species has been definitely recorded only four other times from North
America. It has bred near Wales, Alaska (Bailey, Condor, 34, 1932:47; eggs collected) and probably
on Little Diomede Island, Bering Sea (Kenyon and Brooks, Condor, 62, 1960:462-463; "two adult
males in breeding condition" examined in U.S.N2VI.). Single specimens have also been collected at
St. Michael, Alaska (Turner, Contr., Nat. Hist. Alaska, 1886:180; specimen in "first basic" (postjuvenal
or first winter) plumage examined in U.S. Nat. Mus.) and in Baja California (Ridgway, Proc. U.S.
Nat. Mus., 6, 1883:156-157; spedmen said to be in "basic" (winter) plumage, not 1ocated.)--GoRG
