LIST OF BIRDS. 



I call Fringilla chloris is, in my oijinion, the same as our 

 own. Its habits, note, and character generally are exactly 

 similar, the only observable difference being in the 

 plumage, which in the Japanese bird is much richer. 



Cindus Pallasii is, I consider, the same bird as C. 

 aquations. The Japanese bird is entirely dark, having no 

 white horsershoe mark on the breast, as in our bird ; but 

 in note, habits, food, and favourite localities, there is not 

 the slightest difference in the two birds. The Japanese 

 species I have closely observed for several years. 



Several other species differ in some slight and similar 

 way from those mentioned.
