T Obferve in fomc fpecimens a crimfon ftreak on each fide of the 

 lower jaw, which is moft probably the charafteriftic of the 

 tnak bird.^

T HAVE feen more than one of this fpecies which had a ftreak. 



of crimfon on each fide of the under jaw. 



In a colleclion brought from Cayenne were others, of an interme- 

 diate fize between this and the Red-cheeked*. Thefe had a large 

 patch of crimfon under the eyes, and the bars of the breaft fo 

 much broader than on the reft of the under parts, as to give the 

 appearance of a black breaft on the firft infpediion. It feems,, 

 therefore, not improbable that the Red -cheeked and Rufous M-^ 00 d- 

 feckers proceed from age or fexual difference merely, and that the 

 prefent is a connedting variety. -
