BUNTING. 325 



Inhabits Dalmatia. — M. Temminck considers this as the female 

 of the Pine Bunting, and in this we perfectly agree with him ; the 

 description here is but short, yet seems to coincide with that of the 

 female of the Pine last described. There is a figure of it in Gerini's 

 work as well as of the male Pine, but not so accurate as might be 

 wished.
