in Wales since 1904^ and the fact that it breeds in Ireland 

 is of the greatest interest. 



" The second bird I have to show you is a young Green- 

 finch-Linnet hybrid [Chloris ch. chloi'is x Carduelis c. 

 cannabina) brought to Mr. Williams in August by a local 

 (Dublin) bird-catcher. The bird is in juvenile plumage, and 

 I exhibit specimens of Gi'ceufinch and Linnet in the same 

 plumage for comparison. You will see that the hybrid in 

 colouring and markings is very much like the Linnet, 

 except that it has pale yellow axillaries and the outer webs 

 of the wing-feathers are yellow as in the Greenfinch, the 

 tail-feathers are a curious mixture, their outer webs being 

 yellow as in the Greenfinch, and their inner webs with the 

 large wedge-shaped white marks exactly as in the Linnet. 

 The bill is intermediate between the two species."
