fain is an inhabitant of the hilly parts of our 
country, as Mr. Willughby informs us. He 
fays it is twice the fize of the laft fpecies: that 
the color of the head and back is the fame with 
that of the common linnet: that the feathers on 
the throat and breaft are black edged with white: 
the rump is of a rich fcarlet or orange tawny color. 
The edges of the middle quil-feathers are white, 
as are the tips of thofe of the fecond row: the two 
middle feathers of the tail are of a uniform dufky 
color; the others edged with white. This fpecies 
is taken in the flight feafon near Loudon with the 
linnets ; it is there called a Twite. The birds we 
examined differed in fome particulars from Mr. Wii- 
lughby’s defcription. In fize they are rather inferior 
to the common linnet, and of a more taper make: 
their bills fhort and entirely yellow: above and 
below each eye is a pale brown fpot: the edges of 
the greater coverts of the wings white; in other 
refpects both agree. The female wants the red 
mark on the rump. )
