A figure of the head and foot of this bird is hero 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.

The last named bird being almost precisely .similar to the P. Alaudintis, it. is unnecessary to give a figure of it. The tv
so-called species here enumerated present so little variation from the P. Savanna, that it seems to be the far more natural conclush
to consider them all as only one.
