B sscrirtion. r p H I S refembles the common one, but is of twice the fize.
It is faid to have the note of a Grafshopper. Whether or
ao it be a variety, I will not pretend to determine, as the fize
feems again ft i t ; but as it is a bird found in all quarters of the
globe, and even in Europe differs both in fize as well as colour,
the faft is poflible.

D A T IÏER lefs than the Pettichaps : length four inches and a
half. Bill black : the head, and all the under parts, of a
fine yellow, marked on the neck, breaft, and fides, with longitudinal
reddifh fpots : the upper parts, and edge's of the quills,
olive green ; the quills themfelves brown : the tail marked as the
quills, but the two middle feathers wholly of a dark brown : the
inner webs of the fide feathers yellow : legs black.
This fpecies is found in America, and is migratory : it is feen
in Canada during the fummer only j but its chief refidence is in
Guiana, and parts adjacent, where it makes the neft. Its
note faid to be very agreeable, and not unlike that of the
Linnet.
The fécond of thefe is not unlike the firft ; but has the whole
of the upper parts brown, except the forehead juft over the
bill, which, with the under parts, is yellow, and not fpotted.
It is no doubt a mere variety.
