MONG the drawings of Lady Impey I find the above bird. 

 The fize nearly that of the Chinefe Jacana.' The bill is of a 

 pale green, and fiiaped much like that oi&Gull : the crown of the 

 head, hind part of the neck, and back, brown : above the eyes 

 white : along the fide of the neck a yellow ftripe, divided from 

 the fore part by another of black, which finifhes on the breaft ; 

 excepting this, all the under parts from the chin are white : the 

 wing coverts are white, croffed with a few brown bars : prime 

 quills black, ending in two projefting narrow feathers: tail cu- 

 neiform, brown : legs as in other Jacanas, and of a pea green. 



This inhabits India, where it is called a Plover*,

* I have much fufpicion that it is related to my Chinefe Jacana ; as I was in- 

 formed, that, when perfeft, the two middle tail feathers are greatly longer than 

 •the others, as in that bird.
