than our Mountain or tree Finch. The above gentleman, inquifi-

bird fent proved no other than the Free Sparrow ; nor could he
learn that any other, more likely to prove the bird in quefhon,
which he meant to have, exifted thereabouts; and, to fay the
truth, the defcriptions of both agree greatly upon paper, however
