THE BIRD-LIFE OF LONDON 



resembles the male hr colour, but is a trifle duller, and 

 the forehead is not so brilliant a yellow. The autumn 

 plumage is greener than that of summer. The nestlings 

 are browner above, the eye-stripe is buff, the throat and 

 chest are suffused with buff, and there are many dusky 

 spots on the latter.
