* This extraordinary species of Horned Lark is said to have been found in 

 " CafiTraria," a habitat so foreign to the general range of the genus as to be almost 

 unbelievable. The researches of naturalists in South Africa, and of British officers 

 d urine the late war, have not confirmed the existence of such a distinct species of 

 Otocorys in South Africa, and one can only suggest that its habitat must be sought 

 elsewhere.
