HAWFINCH. 15 



irregularly streaked with dark olive and dusky grey; 

 some are much less marked than others, and some are 

 of a uniform pale green ; others have been obtained by 

 Lord Clifton of a reddish ground colour. 



There do not appear to be any very striking 

 varieties. 



One is of a pale greenish grey white, with a few 

 hair-like waved streaks, and a few larger and smaller 

 blackish spots. 



A second is grounded with a pale bluish white, 

 with a few large and small black spots, and a few 

 hair streaks. 



A third is a pale greenish grey, with a very few 

 hair-like streaks and a few large spots chiefly towards 

 the broad end.
