The Rock Pipit in its habits, mode of flight, and song, 

 so closely resembles the two species already described, as for 

 a long period to have been confounded with them. Colonel 

 Montagu became aware of the distinction, and suggested the 

 subject to Mr. Lewin, who figured and described this species 

 under the name of Dusky Lark, in his large work on British 

 Birds, with coloured illustrations.
