TjETWEEN that figured by Briffin, and one in the Leverian 

 Mufeum, I obferve a fmall difference. In BriJJbn's figure of 

 itj the white goes round in the (hape of a crefcent. In the Leve- 

 rian fpecimen, the whole front to behind the eyes is black, only a 

 fmall perpendicular dafli of white under the ear.

 iomewhat fmaller than that ufually feen in England.
