' I ' H E fexes feem to vary in this bird, as in the £«r(7pf^« fpecies. 

 One of thefe, prefented to me by Mr. Wavely was eight inches 

 - - in length : the fpot on the chin rather paler than the reft of the 



plumage, but by no means white : no fpot of white on either 

 quills or tail feathers, by which I judge it to be the female^ of 

 which that defcribed by me is the male. 



It fliould feem to be the fame with x}iit. Mojchito Havjk o{ Hud- 

 fin's Bay, but Mr. Hutchins^s manufcript makes it nine inches and 

 a half in length, twenty-three inches in breadth, and an ounce and 

 three quarters when the bowels are taken out. It is known at 

 Hudfin's Bay by the name of Payjk, or Peejk, from the note, and is 

 there migratory : faid to be very numerous in the interior parts^, 

 and feeds on mujkitoss and^ies^
