EMBERIZID^E. 



Mountain Bunting. Of the young of the year in autumn, 

 apparently unable to perform a long flight, and flitting 

 from crag to crag, as already noticed, Mr. Macgillivray 

 observes, that they seemed to resemble young females in 

 their second plumage, but with more grey and less white. 



The whole length of an adult bird about seven inches. 

 From the carpal joint to the end of the first quill-feather, 

 which is the longest in the wing, four inches and one 

 quarter.
