 Pi ACE. This frequents Hudfon's Bay, where it is called Outatapafeu. Its 



note at all times merely a chirp. It builds there, making the 

 neft on the ground ; and lays four or five white eggs, fpotted with 

 black. It appears at times in fmall flocks, often accompanying 

 the Geefe ; and at other times feen with the Snow Buntings.
