Tue Briack-neapep Buntine, or Reed Bunting, as it is 
also called, is a well-known inhabitant of marshy places, 
the sides of lakes and large ponds, banks of rivers or canals, 
rush-grown water-meadows and beds of osiers, and though 
local from the partiality the bird exhibits to live in the vi- 
cinity of water, it is not a rare species in situations which 
accord with its habits, and it remains in this country 
throughout the year.
