Q^ the lefler Linnet. We are aware that much confufion has, ancj 

 Hill continues to prevail among the Linnet tribe, we can however 

 venture to fpeak precifely as to the bird before us being the Twite 

 of the Leverian Mufeum, and therefore the individual bird defcribed 

 by Dr. Latham and feveral other writers under the appellation of the 

 Twite: it pafled immediately irom that colle6iion into our pofTeflion. 



The length of this bird is four inches and a half. The red colour 

 of the rump is generally Confidered as a decifive ch3racter of the 

 Twite.
