THIS alfo appears among us only in the fpnng 

 and fummer, and is obferved to come over 

 nearly at the fame time with the nightingale. It 

 makes its neft in hollow trees, and holes in walls 

 and other buildings -, which it forms with mofs on 

 the outfide, and lines with hair and feathers It 

 lays four or five eggs, very like thofe of the 

 bedoe-fparrow, but rather paler, and more taper 

 at the lefs end. This bird is fo remarkably Ihy, 

 that it will forfake its neft, if the eggs are only 

 touched. It has a very fine foft note ; but being a 

 fullen bird, is with difficulty kept alive in con- 

 finement. It is remarkable in fliaking its tail, it 

 moves it horizontally as a dog does when fawning. 



The bill and legs of the male are black : the Descr.p 

 forehead white: the crown of the head, hind part 

 of the neck, and the back are of a deep blue grey : 

 the cheeks and throat black : the breaft, rump
