Amaduvade Finch, Gen. Syn. Ui. p. 311. N° 82.
J N fome drawings from India, I obferve two of thefe birds, the
one marked as ufual, the other olive ; and, I make no doubt,
defigned for different fexes. Mr. Tunftall informs me, that he has
kept them often, and obferved that they became more fpotted, in
proportion to their age ; and that one in particular, which feemed

the Beautiful Finch *, as it differs very little therefrom in colour,
except in the forehead and throat, which are not red, as in that

This is found in the woods of Carthagena, in South America, and
