YELLOW RED-POLL. 
This handsome bird was originally figured 
by Edwards, on the same plate with the Black 
Grosbeak ; on which account, it seems to have 
been overlooked by Linnsus, in giving his 
classical appellation to the objects described by 
Edwards. Only one Linnsean nanie is inserted 
in the List.; and that is, Loxia Angolensis, 
But the Red-Poll is not a Loxia, which the 
Grosbeak certainly is : so that the mistake has 
arisen, as many mistakes have arisen, and will 
perhaps always continue to arise, from having 
difFerent subjects in natural history on a single 
plate ; a practice which we cannot sufficiently 
reprehend in all works of respectability. It 
has, in this instance, most probably given us 
to regret the loss of a Linnsean name. 
The Yellow Red-Poll is described, by Ed- 
wards, as resembling the Canary Bird in its 
note ; of which species, in fact, he supposes 
it to be; and, from it's general appearance^ 
•we greatly incline to the same opinion. It 
might, perhaps, have been denominated the
