Lesser Redpole Finch, Selbys lUus. Br. Orn. 

 Rose Linnet, Flemm. Br. Anim. 



A very common species in the northern counties. 



86. LIN ARIA BOREALIS? NORTHERN REDPOLE LINNET? 



In the Illustrations of British Ornithology, I have given a figure of a supposed large 

 variety of Linaria flavirostris, from a specimen in tlie collection of Sir William Jardine. 

 The difference in size, and the disposition of the colours in this bird, induced Sir William 

 and myself to enter into a further investigation of this supposed variety ; and after the 

 examination of other individuals, we think it is entitled to rank as a distinct species.

A very rare and occasional visitant. In my collection is a very fine male, killed out of 

 a flock of Starlings upon the sea coast near Bamborough, in the month of July, 1818. 

 Another male was taken about the same time, in a tan-pit yard near Newcastle ; and 

 Thomas Ellison, of that town, animal preserver, has an immature male, which was killed 

 at Jesmond, in the spring of 1824, or 1823. Another was shot last year near Durham, 

 and is now in the possession of Mr. Hutchinson, of that city.
