TN my Synopjis it has not appeared clear to me, whether the Cole- 

 moufe and this were different fpecies. I find it to be the opi- 

 nion q( Sepp, that they form but onCj being both figured in the 

 fame plate, as male s^ndi female. In one of them is a fpot of white 

 on the hind head, and the fides of the head are white : the throat 

 black. The other has the top of the head wholly black, and the 

 black fpot of the throat wanting. The neft feems here compofed 

 of fedge, m.ixed with large cai's tail, lined with down and fea- 

 thers i furnifhed with five white eggs, mottled with red brown.
