CHAPTER IX. 



ENGLISH GREEN-FINCH, OR GREEN LINNET. 

 Fringilla Moris. 



This large and handsome Finch, occa- 

 sionally seen as a cage-bird in the com- 

 mercial towns of the United States, is 

 another of the natives of Europe and the 

 British isles. It is here frequently called, 

 in contradistinction to our own and the 

 English Grey or Brown Linnet, [F. Una- 

 na,] the Green Linnet, though from what 

 reason we are at a loss to discover.
