 chow; I have more than oilce found the remains of small birds in 

 its gizzard. Length nearly ] foot ; wing 4'7 inches ; tail 5*2 ; bill 

 •9, to gape 1'3. Back, wings, and tail yellowish brown. Head 

 and neck yellowish grey. A band of black reaches from one ear- 

 covert, over the forehead, to the other, forming a broad mark over 

 the eyes. Under parts pale rufous ochre, but very deep on the 

 vent. Beak and legs brown.

 wings, and is considerably larger. Another species, not found

 spotted breast.
