FRINGILLID.E. 



upper tail-coverts lighter brown, with dark brown centres; tail- 

 feathers dark brown, edged with whity brown, the outer ones with 

 yello-w ; the outermost feather entirely pale yellow, with brown 

 shaft widening at the tip, and a long brown mark along the inner 

 web ; head like the back, but a little more reddish brown ; lores 

 whitish ; ear-coverts and cheeks dark brown, with narrow dusky 

 shaft-lines ; throat dull white ; sides of neck light brown, streaked 

 with black ; remainder of under surface of body pale yellow, streaked 

 with grey ; breast brown, tinged with yellow and streaked with 

 black ; abdomen and under tail-coverts dull white, the latter with 

 brown shaft-streaks ; sides of body and flanks whity brown, broadly 

 streaked with black and tinged with rufous-brown ; thighs whity 

 brown ; under wing-coverts and axillaries yellow ; quills below 

 ashy, whitish along the inner web. Total length 6 inches, culnien 

 0-55, wing 3-55, tail 2-35, tarsus 0*85. 



The adult female in winter plumage appears to differ from the 

 summer plumage in being everywhere lighter and in having pale 

 sandy-buff edges to the feathers of the back, and white margins to 

 the inner secondaries : a light eyebrow of whity brown streaked 

 with dark brown is more or less conspicuous ; the under surface is 

 similar at both seasons of the year, but the streaks are not so 

 broad] y developed in winter. 



The young bird in winter appears to resemble the adult female, 

 but is more uniformly reddish brown above and below, with an 

 absence of yellow on the under surface of the body. 



It is very difficult to determine the changes of plumage in this 

 species, as none of the specimens in the Museum have authentic 

 dates attached, or the sexes properly determined by dissection.
