 Crested Dominican Grosbeak, Gen. Syn. iii. 123. Id. Stip. 151. 



LARGER than the last ; length seven inches. Bill stout, and 

 legs pale red ; the head much crested, and ending in a point like 

 the Cardinal Grosbeak ; head, crest, and fore part of the neck, fine 

 scarlet red ; the rest of the under parts dusky white ; all the upper 

 parts, including the wings and tail slaty grey, or ash-colour. 



Inhabits Brazil, and has by many been taken for a Variety of the 

 Common Cardinal ; but my friend, the late Mr. Tunstall, possessed 

 both, and assured me, that they are separate species. He had several 

 of the Dominican ones ; some of which lived many years, but never 

 could ascertain the cocks from the hens, nor did any of them attempt 

 to sing. As to the crested one, it seemed to differ both in manners 

 and size, and in fact, is a much scarcer bird : that of Mr. Tunstall 

 lived with him at least fourteen years, and then appeared worn out 

 with age, and died in the time of moulting : it now and then called 

 out, but never had what might be termed a song.
