 crest, breast, and rump red ; tail cinereous, the two middle feathers 

 twice the length of the others. The crest and breast of the female 

 are both white. 



Inhabits ^Ethiopia, according to M. Burman, from whom Lin- 

 naeus took his description. M. Daudin, says it is the size of the 

 White-headed Grosbeak, and seven inches in length. He seems to 

 think it should rank with the Colies, which conjecture is far from 

 improbable, more especially as Linnaeus has made our Coly a 

 Grosbeak.
