edged with fawn, the outermost nearly all of that color, the 
penultimate tipped and edged only, and the remainder deep- 
brown. 
During the cold season the Stone Pipit is not uncommon in 
suitable localities throughout the district. It only occurs in open, 
stony, and barren places.

bill at front, 0°7. 
_. Bill dusky, yellowish beneath, except at tip; irides brown; legs

of a dull earthy-brown, darker on the wings and tail, the feathers 
edged paler; a fawn colored superciliary stripe, and a faint brown 
mandibular stripe; beneath, the chin and throat whitish, and

throughout the province. It is much addicted to frequenting 
stony ravines and sandy plains, especially when covered with low 
stunted bushes, upon which they often alight when disturbed.
