differences of plumage, but there is something peculiar in the 

 habits of the American bird which frequents the interior prairie 

 lands, and does not approach the sea coast as in Europe, nor does 

 it go to the north of the 58th parallel, though the European bird 

 extends to Lapland. Further observations are required to prove 

 that the differences in the form and size of the eggs noted in the 

 Fauna boreali-americana are constant. The common magpie 

 abounds in Japan, as Temrainck informs us. The sturnid<^ are 

 more numerous in America than in Europe, and are all proper 

 to the country.
