BRITISH PERCHING BIRDS (Insessores) 



The species figured are Finches (i, 2, 5), a Bunting (4), and a 

 Tit (3). Finches (FringillidcE} live in wooded districts, and their 

 short stout conical beaks are adapted to seed-eating. Buntings 

 (Etnberizidce) inhabit open grassy localities, and are easily distin- 

 guished from Finches by a notch in the side of the beak. Tits 

 (Paridd) are chiefly found among trees, and feed for the most 

 part on insects.
