Linnets from Angola, Edw, pl. 129. 
IZE of our Linnet. The bill brown; the feathers round 
the bafe black: the upper parts of the head, neck, and body, 
brownifh afh-colour, each feather darker in the middle: round 
the eyes, and on each fide of the throat, white: the under parts 
of a plain dull orange: the rump, and upper tail coverts, bright 
yellow: the greater wing coverts and quills brown, edged with 
yellow: tail the fame, edged withgrey: legs flefh-colour. 
The female has the upper parts rufous brown, each feather 
darkeft in the middle: fides of the head pale rufous: -near the 
bafe of the bill a brown mark, which paffes towards the hind 
head: from the breaft to the vent pale rufous, fpotted with 
brown : the reft partly like the male. 
Thefe came from Augola, where the male bears the name of 
Negral, or Tobaque; the female, Benguelinba. Indeed their being 
of oppofite fexes is not certain: Mr. Edwards only fuppofes it; 
and it is probable, that, as they are both faid to fing well, they 
may have been males of two different fpecies, as females in ge- 
neral feldom have a fine fong. ‘The laft-named bird is moft 
likely the Vengoline, mentioned by the Hox. D. Barrington *, 
which he fays fings better than any bird that is not European, 
except the American Mocking Bird.
