A figure of the head and foot of this bird is here given, of the size of life, its close resemblance to A. Fuscescens rendering a 
full length portrait unnecessary. The chief distinction upon which it rests its claim for specific rank, appears to be the greater size of 
the bill (a not always reliable character), and being also generally larger. When two birds are almost precisely similar in the coloration 
of their plumage, as is the case with this one and A. Fuscescens, it seems very doubtful whether a difference of size alone is sufficient 
to constitute them separate species. The specimen from -which the drawing of the head and foot was made, bore upon its label the 
number 20,557, locality Greenland, and was kindly lent to me by the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution.

22. PASSERCULUS ALAUDINUS. Yol. I. Plate XIII. 
23. ANTHINUS. 
The last named bird being almost precisely similar to the P. Alaudinus, it is unnecessary to give a figure of it. The two 
so-called species here enumerated present so little variation from the P. Savanna, that it seems to be the far more natural conclusion 
to consider them all as only one.

25. PIPILO ALBIGULA.=P. MESOLEUCUS. 
Yol. I. Plate XY, 
Although I have devoted a plate to this bird, upon further investigation I do not consider it should be separated from P. 
Mesoleums, the difference being so exceedingly slight as to be distinguished with difficulty.
