TT is fingular to obferve the very great difference of this bird in 

 the/ummer and winter drefs. In the latter feafon, I have ob- 

 ferved it fo lean, as to weigh only four ounces : the bird is then of 

 the ufual colours, though paler ; but the white fpots, generally 

 feen on the upper parts of the body, in a manner obliterated : the 

 wing coverts very flightly fringed with white. 



The Chinefe Redflmnk^ a variety of this, is frequent in India, 

 where it is known by the name of Teetaree.
