Inhab. Sandwich Islands. 



This pretty species of Finch, which I have provisionally placed in the genus 

 Linaria with a mark of doubt, is a native of the Sandwich Islands, and has been 

 described by Latham and the older writers ; but as no figure of it appears to 

 have been published, it will form an interesting addition to the present work. 

 It slightly differs from Latham's description in the much smaller size of the bill, 

 and in the absence of the black tips to the primaries. 



The figures represent the male of the natural size.
