fhafts of the feathers dufky; beneath, more inclined to rufous.: 
bottom of the belly dirty white: the reft as in the male. 
Gmelin met with this at Afrachaz, and on the fhores of the 
river Don, among the reeds. 
I believe it to be the fame bird mentioned in Pallas? Travels, 
above-quoted; but in the defcription of the laft, the patch of

It is found throughout Sidivia, from the Uralian chain quite to 
the Lena, pretty common; but is not in Raffa, though fome- 
times found in winter about the Ca/pian Sea *..
