coverts plain white: the wings reach more than two-thirds on the

fecond, but the third is the longeft of all.

HIS fpecies comes into Georgia in fummer, feeds on fnakes, the 
larvae’ of wafps, and other infects; is much on the wing, and tears 
off the nefts of wafps, which are found hanging on the branches of 
trees, as it flies; it ftays during the breeding time, departing in 
autumn. I obferve in a drawing fent to me from Georgia, that the 
cere is blue; irides reddifh orange: it varies in having the under 
parts of the body inclining to dirty yellow, and the white on the wing 
lefs confpicuous, or wholly wanting.
