Butt. N. L. M. 1885, p. 212. 



Obtained at Schieffelinsville and Hill Town ; observed on 

 the St. John's-, (Jess- and Siuoe River. 



In March I received a nearly naked nestling from a na- 

 tive, and was happy eDOugh to keep it alive until, shortly 

 before my return to Europe, it got killed by rats at Mon- 

 rovia. The feathers in • the very young stage of plumage 

 are of a fulvous tinge , the tail-feathers nearly as brown 

 as in the adult stage. I said , in my above cited paper , 

 this species to be not as intelligeot as erythacus , but if my 

 specimen did not make an exception , I must state that 

 there is absolutely no difference in the intellectual capaci- 

 ties between both species.
