The Siskin, or Aberdevine, as it is also called, is a visiter 

 to this country, an-iving in flocks from the North in autumn, 

 and comes generally in company with the Lesser Redpole, 

 to be hereafter described, many of which also pass the sum- 

 mer in high northern latitudes. The Siskin appears to be 

 much more plentiful in the North than with us in the South ; 

 and there seems to be no doubt that some, perhaps many.
