with russet; two outer tail feathers with a large Avhite 
patch on the inner web of their distal extremities; beak, 
tarsi, and feet reddish brown. 
The female has, according to Degland, all the upper 
parts varied with brown and russet, having a strong 
resemblance to the female Ortolan in breeding attire; 
the inferior parts and under tail coverts russet, with 
brown striae on the crop and chest. 
Teimninck says that the male and female in autumn 
have the colours less pure, with small striae on the 
grey of head and neck; the feathers of the crop boi’- 
dered with brown, and the russet red of the throat 
less pure. 
^ly figure and description are taken from a male 
specimen kindly sent me by Mr. Tristram, marked 
“Emniaus, Judaea, March 25th., 1858.” 
It has also been figured by Doux, as a variety of 
the iNIeadow Bunting, in his Ornith. Prov. Atlas, pi. 
112, (male;) by Cretzschmaer, in Buppell’s Atlas, pi. 
10, fig. 6, (male in breeding plumage;) and by Gould, 
B. of E., pi. 181.
