SISKIN. 19 



A second of a very light green, marked with a 

 few small pale yellowish brown spots at the broad end. 



A third of a greenish grey, marked with a few 

 small and some larger red spots. 



The Siskin has been known to build and breed 

 in confinement. Mr. Hewitson figures an egg which 

 was laid, together with three others, by a hen bird 

 which had been kept three years in a cage. 



It appears to nidificate most frequently in North 

 Britain, though instances have also occurred in the 

 extreme south, that is to say, in the neighbourhood 

 of London.
