[ Anthus littoralis Brehm ]

Hartert (1905a: 284) cited Brehm (1831: 331) as the first description of this taxon. Later, Hartert (1918b: 25) found that Brehm (1823: 239), as well as Brehm (1828: 55), were earlier descriptions. Brehm (1823: 239) noted that he had two males, an adult and a bird of the year, collected by Schilling at the beginning of October 1822 on the Baltic Sea. Hartert (1918b: 25) found no specimen of this form collected in October 1822 in the Rothschild Collection, nor did I in AMNH.
