Obs. In the former edition of this " Handbook" 

 this bird was entered as the Rosy Bullfinch, Carpo- 

 dacus erythrinus (Pallas). For the sake of uni- 

 formity, however, and in deference to the views of 

 both editors of Yarrell's " British Birds" (4th ed.), 

 I think it desirable to adopt their nomenclature as 

 above given.
