Diiriii*^ the winter these l)irds will often admit stranf^ers 

 of the same class into their Hoek, and many a stray Chaf- 

 finch or Linnet may be observed feedin*';' with them. When 

 alarmed, they all rise and hnrry off to the nearest tree. A 

 stray one amidst a flock of Linnets may always be so 

 traced, as the Linnets remain in the open, while the Green- 

 finch rushes off to shelter. 



The Greenfinch is, perhaps, the coninioncstof the ri£ch 

 tribe, the Sparrow alone excepted, and is to be found 

 throug-hout the whf)le of the cultivated portions of Great 

 Britain, and is well known in L'eland. The leiig-th and 

 brei^th of Europe is laid under contribution, and al ong* the 

 Levant and in Asia Minor it is plentiful^ ^
