1ZE and habit of the Canary Bird: the bill is white at the bafe, 
towards the tip black: head black and velvety: body yellow, 
with a flight tinge of green: wings variegated with green, yellow, 
red, and black: tail brown: from the chin hangs an elongated tuft of 
black feathers, like a beard, which in very old birds reaches to the 
middle of the breatft. 
The female is wholly grey; the wings fpotted with yellow; but is 
deftitute of the chin beard-like feathers ; and has not the leatt fong.

is faid alfo to be a mimic of others. The Spaniards call it jilguero, 
or Goldfinch, which it fomewhat refembles in colour.
