From Hakodadi. A single specimen in Dr. Henderson's collection is not in 
good plumage, but is interesting on account of its similarity in colors only to 
the common Passer montanus of Europe. It is, however, different from that 
species in having the bill stronger and the feet much larger, and in general 
appears to be a more robust bird. The toes in the present species are so much 
longer and thicker, that those of P. montanus^ (from France,) appear on com- 
parison to be quite feeble. It seems, in fact, to belong to Bonaparte's second 
division of the genus Passer^ (Consp. Av. p. 508,) though with the plumage of 
the type of the first division, P. montanus. 
This rather singular bird is very probably meant by Pallas in Zoog. as above 
cited, where he gives it as a species of eastern Siberia and probably also by 
Temminck and Schlegel under the name of P. inontamis. The distinguished 
authors last mentioned seem, however, not to have had specimens before them 
The name given by Pallas very probably ought to be re-established for this 
species.

Evidently a young bird of this species with nearly the entire plumage dark 
cinerous, lighter on the under parts, bat showing the characteristic white spots 
on the ears, and with the throat becoming black. Under wing and tail coverts 
white. 
" In scattered flocks at Hakodadi, very shy."— (Dr. Henderson.)

The figure in Faun. Jap., cited above, seems to represent a young bird. 
Specimens in the present collection are more mature and have the brownish 
spot on the cheek very distinct. The dark markings of the upper parts are 
larger than in Alauda arhorea,^ to which this species bears a resemblance and 
relationship. 
The tail in the present bird is quite as long as is usual in the genus Alauda^ 
and longer than in A. arborea. In several specimens the entire outer feather 
is white, in others a portion of the inner web is brown. It is quite distinct as 
a species. Hakodadi.
