This bird is very common in England; is faid to inhabit Sweden, 
and thence to extend even to /taly; the fulnefs of its plumage enables 
it to hear the inclemencies of the northern regions in winter, but it 
admits of fome furprize that fuch as are found in warmer countries are

The length is five inches and a quarter, the breadth feven inches, 
the tail is remarkabiy long in proportion to the fize of the body; in
