CALLED Bimbele by the negroes of St. Do- 

 mingo: its length is five inches : the upper parts 

 of its plumage are brown, the head deepest: wings 

 and tail brown, with paler edges: rump and upper 

 tail-coverts olive-green : the throat, fore-part of 

 the neck, and breast, yellowish white : belly and 

 vent pale yellow : the two outer tail-feathers with 

 a white band on the inner web near the tip. In- 

 habits the island of St. Domingo, among palm- 

 trees, where its nest is constructed : the female 

 lays two or three eggs : their principal food con- 

 sists of seeds and insects : it has scarcely any 

 song, but what little there is, is far from being 

 unpleasant.
