ROCK SPARROW. 127 



My figure of this bird is from a specimen kindly 

 sent me by Mr. 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. 88, f. 1, but not a good 

 figure; Gould, B. of E., pi. 186.
