Harris's Finch

“The discovery of this beautiful bird is due to my excellent and constant friend Edward Harris, Esq., who accompanied me on my late journey to the Upper Missouri river, &c, and after whom I have named it, as a memento of the grateful feelings I will always entertain towards one ever kind and generous to me.”
