FINCH. 73 



35 —EUSTACHIAN FINCH. 



Fringilla Eustachii, Ind. Or-n. i. 448. Gm. Lin. i. 911. 



Fringilla Insula; S. Eustachii, Bris.'m. 177. Id. 8vo. i. 356. Klein, 90. 18. Shaw's 



Zoo/.ix. 476. 

 Le Pinson jaune et rouge, Buf. iv. 145. 

 Passer Africanus eximius, Seba, ii. 67. t. 65. f. 2. 

 Eustachian Finch, Gen. Syn. iii. 279. 



SIZE of a Chaffinch ; length five inches and a half. Bill red ; 

 head, neck, and upper parts yellow; on each side of the head, under 

 the eye, a spot of blue; breast and under parts orange; wings, tail, 

 and legs, red. 



The whole of the above has been originally taken from Seba, 

 who certainly does not say, that the bird is of Eustachian origin, 

 although authors following him have conceived as much. He merely 

 says, that he had a drawing of it sent to him from St. Eustatia ; but 

 calls it the African Sparrow.
