These two last birds have long been considered varieties of the 

 same species, and have been figured as such in Wliite's Journal. 

 Independentl}^, however, of the difi'erence between the two birds 

 in their colours, and in the distribution of them, we may observe, 

 that the tail of the latter bird is much more graduated than that 

 of Mai. cyaneus ; while the under wing-coverts are whitish, which 

 in Mai. cyaneus are rufous.
