PIEZORHINA. 89 



Young birds in fresh plumage have the grey of the upper parts of 

 the body inclining to olive-butf ; underneath much more isabelline 

 than in the female, without any trace of black on the throat ; lesser 

 and greater wing-coverts broadly edged with isabelline, as well as the 

 innermost secondaries ; alar speculum less distinct ; margins of the 

 primaries and secondaries very narrow, clearer than in the adult bird 

 and surrounding the tips of the feathers. (Taczanoivski.)

I am extremely doubtful as to the present genus being a Finch 

 at all, and might suggest that it ought to be placed with the 

 Tanagridas.
