CRYING THRUSH. 271 



the chin is white : the breast flesh-colour, spotted 

 with black : the rump, belly, and vent, are rufous 

 orange : the thighs are ash-coloured : the legs 

 dusky. 



The habits of this species are rather singular : 

 it assembles in small flocks of six or eight, and 

 utters a remarkable note, which gives the idea of 

 a chime of three bells, which is often continued 

 for hours together : it is not very abundant, and 

 is found in Cayenne and Guiana, among the 

 thickest forests : it does not associate with any 

 other birds of the genus, although it eats the same 

 food.
