(69.) A correspondent states that he has seen a variety of the 

 goldfinch marked by strong distinguishing characters, considerably 

 larger size, more graceful form, and much richer and more lustrous 

 plumage, which, bird-catchers say, occurs frequently as a progeny 

 of the ordinary bird. The distinctions of this animal are greater 

 than those held in many instances as specific ; there seems no room 

 to doubt in such an instance that pairs so peculiar might, in fresh 

 ground of their own, give rise to a race which naturalists would call 

 a separate species.
