DEER-SHOOTING AND OTHER MATTERS. 



coloured bull-finch, has also a very silvery head, and 

 rose-tinted plumage, but after keeping this bird through 

 a couple of moultings, and finding he lost the lovely 

 rosy hue on the second moulting, and never got it 

 again, I feared that the finches would do the same. 

 One of the bull-finches I brought to England, where the 

 reader may possibly meet it, as it escaped and never 

 returned !
