N.B. The small coverts which in all other Jays are blue banded, in 

 this are plain black and white (bipartite) ; which latter colour on the 

 contrary is wanting on the quills, beautifully striate4 ]jlue and black 

 as are the small coverts of the others. 



The comparison with this last species was the only one necessary 

 to establish ; but, considering that no little difficulty is met with in 

 discriminating the different European and Asiatic Jays, and what a 

 confusion prevails among the synonyms of the remaining, which may 

 be considered as six races of the same great species, I shall try to take 

 advantage of my long experience, peculiar fancy for the group, and 

 especially of the rich collection I now have at my command, in order 

 to point out their discrepancies.
