478 EMBERIZID&. 
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.
