R pf 5 '- Li fl 0t , a Eubopean Linnet.- Two specimens were 
seen m a flock of English Sparrows in January, 1890 by Mr Wm Loan 
who took one alive. This bird was identified by Mr. Ernest Seton who 
says, The question how the birds came here is not easily answered for 
this could not have been a cage bird escaped, as its breast still bore the rosy 
tinge that is so soon lost in captivity/' 1
