Mr. Benzon, and, on looking over them, find that I can add nothing to his description above 

 translated. 



On the one Plate two males are figured, the bird to the right being in full breeding- 

 plumage, and that to the left in spring plumage before the white edges of the dorsal feathers 

 have worn off, in which stage it often does duty in collections as an adult female. On the 

 second Plate the adult female, in late autumn plumage, is figured with a Lapland Bunting 

 killed at the same season. The female in breeding-plumage is not figured, as I intended, if 

 my friend succeeded in finding the nest, to figure the female and nestlings on an extra plate. 

 The specimens figured and described are in my own collection. 



In the preparation of the above article I have examined the following specimens : —
