!My figure of this bird is from a specimen kindly 
sent me by INIr. Tristram, marked “Bethlehem, 31st. 
March, 1850.” The egg is from Badeker. 
The bird has also been figured by Buffon, pi. enl. 
225, under the name of Moineau de bois ou Soulcie; 
Roux, Ornith. Prov., pi. 75 and 76, (male and female;) 
Naumann, Vogel Deutsch, pi. 116, (male and female;) 
Bouteil, Ornith. du Dauph, pi. 33, f. 1, but not a good 
figure; Gould, B. of E., pi. 186.
