FRINGILLIDA. 191 
bird: the beak is a pale flesh-colour; irides hazel ; 
nearly all the upper parts darkish olive-sreen; the 
rump and upper tail-coverts the brightest and most 
tinged with light green; greater wing-coverts and 
tertials dusky grey, darkest in the centre of the 
feathers ; the wing from the carpus to the base of the 
primaries is bordered with bright yellow; quills 
greyish black, edged for about two-thirds of the way 
with bright yellow; the tail has the two centre 
feathers dusky grey, the rest have the basal half 
bright yellow and the tips dusky ; chin yellow ; rest 
of the under parts olive-green, lighter and more 
tinged with yellow than the upper parts; under tail- 
coverts light yellow; legs, toes and claws pale wood- 
brown. The female is duller in colour, and nearly 
all the plumage is much tinged with dull brown. 
The young birds are something like the female, but 
at first are nearly all olive-brown and the beaks are 
dark bluish horn. 
The eggs are a very pale whitish green, spotted 
on the upper thick end with two shades of reddish 
brown. 
Hawrincu, Coccothraustes vulgaris. The Haw- 
finch, or, as it is occasionally called, the “ Gros- 
beak,” is a rather rare winter visitor to these parts, 
never remaining through the summer, although in 
rather more northern counties, and even as far south 
as the neighbourhood of London, it is known to 
remain through the summer and to breed.
