canus onocrotalus orientalis), but has a pe- 

 culiar tuft or fringe of fibres in the middle 

 of the upper mandible, something nearer the 

 apex than the base. This tuft has not been 

 mentioned by any author, and is likewise 

 wanting in Edwards's pelican, t. 92, with 

 which the Society's specimen corresponds in 

 every other circumstance. The P. Onocro- 

 talus occidentalis, Linn, or Edw. t. 93 

 American pelican, is very different from it : 

 the chief differences are the colour, which 

 in our Hudson's Bay bird is white, but in 

 Edwards's is of a greyish brown ; and the 

 size, which in the white bird is almost double 

 of the brown one. The quill-feathers are 

 black, and the shafts of the larger ones white. 

 The Alula, or bastard wing, is black. The 

 bill and legs are yellow.
