All the Finches except the Sifkin are fuppofed to continue in 
thefe kingdoms throughout the year; but fhift to different parts 
according to the feafons. The Redpole is known to breed in 
the mountains of Wales*. Mr. Pennant faw the neft of this fpecies 
on an alder ftump near a brook, about two or three feet from the 
ground. ‘The outfide was compofed of dried ftalks of grafs, and 
other plants, intermixed witha little wool: it was lined with hair and 
a few feathers. “The eggs, fourin number, were of a pale bluifh 
green, thickly fprinkled near the blunt end with {mall reddifh fpots. 
In O&ober and November thefe birds arrive near London in vaft 
numbers. The colours of the female are generally paler than thofe 
of the male: the fpot on the forehead is faffron colour.
