 families reside here in the summer to enjoy the country, and 

 formerly to avoid the fevers that usually' prevailed i:i tin-

 Danube. Before the Transylvania gate lies the manu-

 here. In this suburb there is a curious hydraulic engine,

 cians. There is A considerable trade at Temeswar in the 

 productions of the country, and some niamil'actn 

 cloth, paper, iron-wire, and silk. The population of the 

 fortress is about :KH) ; and that of the whole town, in- 

 cluding the suburbs, 13,000, besides the garrison.

MIA. Le Variant's name for a genus of IJTSKS-., 

 or perching birds, which, Cuvicr observes, M. Vicillot h;is 

 changed into Cri//ixiri>ni, and Dr. Horstield into /'hrenp- 

 .vhil.-t M.Tcinminck arranges them undtt Qktvcopis. 



(Jnvior remarks, that these birds have the carriage' and 

 tail of the magpies, an elevated bill with the upper mandi- 

 ble convex, and the base furnished with velvety fcathcis. 

 nearly as in the HIRDS OK PARADISH. The species most 

 antiently known is, he observes, the ('nri-ux rurinnx of 

 Latham, which is of a brou/ed green colour, and found in 

 India and Africa. Cuvier places the genus between Caryo- 

 catactts [NUTCHACKKR] a; /j/.v.
