SNOW-BUNTING. 1NSESS. PLECTROPHANES. 283

 in their winter's dress, but with more of the yellowish-

 head yellowish-brown ; the ear-coverts, throat, and large 

 pectoral band chestnut-brown ; and the nape of the neck 

 yellowish-grey. Flanks pale orange-coloured-brown. 

 Feathers of the back very deeply edged with wood and 

 yellowish browns. Wings with four or five of the se- 

 condaries white ; the rest black, edged with white and 

 yellowish-brown. This appears to be the Mountain- 

 Bunting of authors.
