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 illustra- 

 tions.
