head very grey, most of the feathers being in worn plumage, in marked contrast to the 

 reddish-brown mantle. 



Dr. Reiohenow thinks that the White-throated Sparrow should be known as Passer 

 grisea (Vieill., 1817), and there can be no doubt that the description of " FrimjiUa 

 grisea" agrees very well with examples of the present species; but as Vieillot states 

 that the type came from the " United States," that it had a forked tail, and that its total 

 length was only 4J: inches instead of 6 inches, I prefer to use the name given by 

 Smith to the South African bird in 1836.

 of 7000 ft., and was rarely seen above 5000 ft.— B. B. W.]
