and bread, of a dirty faint orange; deeper on the back, and
fainter on the bread : acrofs the lower part of the back is a cref-
cent of black fpots: the chin, cheeks, and throat, black: rump,
lower belly, and upper tail coverts, white: wings light brown:
the two middle tail feathers are black; the red white, with a
narrow border of black-, bill and legs black.
Tht female is like the male, except that the black mark is
round and behind the eyes only, and not under the throat,
which is white.

Italy about Bologna, but not common.

Bj mod the whole tail likewife, white : the head and back
" of a rudy yellow: the wing feathers half black and half yel-
“ low: the bill indifferently long, of a dulky colour : the throat,
« bread, and belly, are white, lightly dalhed with yellow : the
“ tail towards the rump is yellow, elfe black.”
This was found near Nifmes, and about Bologna.
It is thought by Linnxus a variety of the lad, in which fenti-
ment I will join him : and indeed, to fay the truth, I believe the
whole of the above-mentioned Wheat-Pars, are mere accidental
varieties, from age, fex, or accident.
