Both thefe birds are natives as well of Jamaica as of 

 parts of the main continent -, and, like the reft of the kind, feed chiefly on fruit : 

 but they are alfo great lovers of cornj which frequently brings them to the fowlers 

 toils; which are feldom any other than fmall pieces of flick daubed over with bird- 

 lime, or the refinous liquid that diflils from the gum-tree, fet up in convenient 



places.

they are very common in the woods of Jamaica, and frequently ferved up at 

 gentlemen's tables in all the country parts of the ifland.
