Pl a c e , Mr. Hutchins informs me, that this bird, or one greatly fimi-
lar, comes into Hudfon's Bay in April, and departs in September.
Is called by the Nepetherway Indians, Nepin apethafijh. He
thinks it not unlikely, that my Mountain Finch, N ° 1 6 * , may be
the fame fpecies. His bird differs fomewhat in the placing, as
well as the conftru&ion, of the neft ; for it is made on the ground
among the grafs, and compofed of mud without, and jlreisv within,
lined with foft hair or down. The eggs are the fame in number
and colour.

r p H E circumftance of the fecond figure, in PI. Enl. 1 8 1 , being
female to the other in the fame plate, feems to be doubted by
P l a c e .
Mr. Pennant f .
Thefuppofed female is certainly found in Carolina-, the other
probably only inhabits Cayenne. I am the lefs capable of judging,
as neither o f the birds in queftion has come under my infpe&ion.
RING SPARROW.

A * R . Funftall informs me, that he had thefe birds living for
fome time, but never could find that they had any cry or
note. The ring on the breads o f fome was much brighter than
in others, and probably fuch were the male birds.

C I Z E and fhapeofa Chaffinch. The irides of a rufous colour:
. the whole plumage, without exception, o f a deep black.
This is found in the woods of Carthagena. Its note very weak;
and to produce it, requires great exertion, as the head feathers,
during the time of finging, as well as thofe of the neck, appear
erect. It feeds on fruits and feeds, is eafily tamed, and when in
a cage will eat bread.
