* This extraordinary species of Horned Lark is said to have been found in 

 " Ca&aria," a habitat so foreign to the general range of the genus as to be almost 

 unbelievable. The researches of naturalists in South Africa, and of British officers 

 during the late vpar, have not confirmed the existence of such a distinct species of 

 Otocorys in South Africa, and one can only suggest that its habitat must be sought 

 elsewhere.
