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.
