If this bird is not one of the known species poorly described, 

 its true habitat yet remains to be discovered. Professor Baird 

 gives the following translation (1. c.) of Vieillot's original 

 description. 



"Bill blackish; a white spot on the sides of the throat, and at its origin 

 (the chin) immediately below the lower mandible (the two continuous) ; 

 the eye surrounded \>y the same color. Head, back, rump, two interme- 

 diate tail-feathers, and the breast of a gravish-slate, paler below. Wing 

 and tail feathers blackish, bo-dered externally by gray, the three lateral 

 on each side of the tail mor'e or less white. Belly and hinder parts 

 brownish rufous; a beautiful yellow in form of a bracelet on the feathers 

 of lower part of leg; feet brown ; length 6 inches, 3 lines." (Vieill. 1. c.) 



Vieillot gives the habitat as ''Martinique."
