We may also separate from the Cotingas, 



The Chatterers, Bombycivora, Temm., 



which have another singular character in the second- 

 ary quills of the wings, of which the end of the stalk 

 enlarges into an oval disk, pliant and red. 



There is said to be one in Europe, but without 

 much authority*. 



European Chatterer. Ampelis Garrulus, L. Enl. 261. 



Rather larger than a sparrow, with the head crested, 

 the plumage of a vinous gray^ the throat black, the 

 tail black, bordered with yellow at the tip ; the wings 

 black varied with white. This bird arrives in Europe 

 in flocks at long and irregular intervals, whence it 

 was long considered ominous. It is stupid, is easily 

 taken, eats a great deal, and of every thing. It is 

 presumed to build in high northern latitudes.
