216 Mr. Vicors’s and Dr. Honsrrerp's Description of the 
Corpus subtus fasciis gracilibus nigris undulatum. Tectrices in- 
feriores albae. Rostrum pedesque nigri. 
'The specimen of this bird in the Society's collection is in such 
indifferent condition that we cannot enter further into the details 
of its characters than the above few remarks. The tail is par- 
ticularly defective; and we can determine little respecting the 
proportions of the species, but that the body from the apex of 
the bill to the root of the tail is 31 inches in length. ‘The bird 
was found by Mr. Brown at Broad Sound, October 26th, 1802.

. M. Temminck unites. these two last birds as different sexes of | 
the same species: the latter being the female. We know not upon 
what authority he has founded this opinion. We must however ob-
