 PAGODA THR. 



Pagoda Thriifh, Gin. Syn. iii, p, 30. N»20. 



HAVE met with feveral of thefe in drawings from India and 

 China, but they feem to differ both in fize and markings ; mofb 

 of them have a long black creft, and the fpace round the eye bare : 

 the colour of the back and wing coverts blue grey : the whole 

 of the neck, breaft, and belly, of a brownifh rufous-colour; the 

 neck feathers ftreaked down the middle with white : the quills 

 and tail black ; the outer feathers of the laft tipped with .white. 



In fome fpecimens the neck and breaft are plain rufous : the 

 back, wings, and tail, light grey : quills black.— In my former 

 defcription, the bird is faid to be fcarcely bigger than a Sparrow ; 

 but the above birds are nearly as large as a Starling. They are 

 chiefly kept in cages, on account of their fong, and are known by 

 the name of Powee.

MALABAR THR.

^"PHIS feems rather fmaller than the laft, and is greatly fimilar 

 in the markings: the length feven inches. It chiefly differs 

 i.) the head being of the fame colour as the body, and not furnifhed 

 with a creft. It is alfo called Powee, and kept in cages as the 

 laft. I have my doubts, whether it is a diftindl: fpecies.
