- Subfamily. PYRRHULINA. 
The well-known Bullfinch of the British Islands is placed at the 
head of this subfamily, of which there are about seven species, in- 
habiting various parts of the world. The countries where one or 
other of them are found are Europe, Cashmere, the Himalayan 
regions, Bhotan, Japan, and the Azores.

Very generally dispersed over England, Scotland, and Ireland, 
and, as it breeds therein, must be regarded as a stationary species. 
Genus CARPODACUS. 
Although the propriety of placing the Scarlet Bullfinch ( Carpodacus 
erythrinus) and the Pine-Grosbeak (Pinicola enucleator) in the sub- 
family Pyrrhuline may be questioned, it is certainly the best situa-

Of the genus Carpodacus about nine species are known, some of 
which inhabit America.
