CA*£. 



120. Bluethroat. 



Male, with red spot. 



Shot on the Newcastle Town Moor, 58th May, 1826. 

 Shot ami presented by Thos W. Embleton, Esq. 

 Remark. — Specimen from which Bewick made his figure, 

 and the first recorded British example of this species. I 

 have a good series illustrating all these forms, and after a 

 careful examination of them, can find no character to lead 

 to the conclusion that they should rank as distinct species.
