Fringilla. 30. Hudfonias. New Specimen* 



Severn River, N° 18. 



This is certainly a nondefcript fpecies ; it only 

 vilits Severn fettlement in fummer, not 

 being feen there before June, when it flays 

 about a fortnight, goes further to the north- 

 ward to breed, and pafles by Severn again 

 in autumn on its return fouth. It is very dif- 

 ficult to procure, and therefore it could not 

 be determined whether the fpecimen was a 

 male or female. It frequents the plains, and 

 lives on grafs-feeds ; it weighs f an ounce, 

 is 6 1 inches long, and 9 inches broad : it has 

 a fmall blue eye, and a whitifh bill faintly 

 tinged with red; the whole body is blackifli, 

 or of a foot colour, the belly alone with the 

 two outermoft tail feathers on each lide being 

 white. It is to be wifhed that more fpeci- 

 mens and circumftantial accounts of this 

 bird were fent over, which would enable us 

 to determine its character with more preci- 

 fion.
