BUNTING. 299 



palest on the rump ; the rest of the wings, breast, and belly deep 

 brown; tail brown, forked; legs yellowish. 



One of these was in the collection of the late Mr. Tunstall ; that 

 figured by Brown, was caught in Mary-la-bonne Fields, by a bird 

 catcher : is probably a Variety of the Yellow Bunting. Colonel 

 Montagu had a similar one, in which the whole head and neck were 

 greenish yellow. 



7— MAELBY BUNTING. 



Emberiza Maelbyensis, Mus. Carls, i. t. 21. Gm. Lin. i. 872. Shaio's Zool. ix. 399. 



Tern. Man. d'Orn. 184. Id. Ed. ii. 313. 

 Maelby Banting, Gen. Syn. Sup. 160. Arct. Zool. Sup. 64. 



SIZE of a Yellow-hammer. Bill and legs pale rufous; the 

 eyelids, a spot between the bill and eye, the chin, upper part of the 

 throat, and sides of the neck and vent dusky white ; forehead, crown, 

 lower part of the neck before, and upper part of the breast bluish 

 ash-colour ; below this, belly, and thighs ferruginous ; back the 

 same, marked with acute black spots ; wing coverts black, edged 

 with ferruginous, beneath brimstone ; the quills dusky, with pale 

 ferruginous margins ; tail feathers black ; the four outer ones, half 

 way from the tips, white, the outer margins black. 



Inhabits Sweden ; found at Maelby, a seat of Count Carlson, in 

 Sodermanland. I suspect this not to be a distinct species, and the 

 same doubt holds good in respect to the last described ; it is most 

 probably related either to the Yellow, or Ortolan Bunting.
