-N a letter. from Mr. 4b07; of. Geoegia, in America, he obferves; 
“ the Chefnut and Black Oriole is not common in thefe parts ; the 
<¢ bird you defcribe as its hen, I efteem another fpecies; but con- 
“€ fidering what you remark about the Ba/timore and other young 
© birds, I believe it to be a young cock of the fecond fummer ; 
“they fing loud, and but little different from your No. 24: 
“the fize, colour, bill, and legs agree, and the fpots and. fhades. 
cc differ in different birds, having all the appearance of moulting 
“and becoming like the former, but the hen is quite a different 
“‘ bird, having no chefnut about her: the young birds are all like 
«¢ hens, which is the cafe with feveral of this country.” 
The neft is built in the beginning of Magy, in the fork of the top- 
fprigs of Sweet Gum, curioufly woven with the fmali twigs of a 
plant like green hay, and lined with wool: the eggs are of a very pale 
or whitifh blue, marked or ftreaked round the larger end_ with dark 
brown. 
I very much rely on the opinion of Mr. or, who is an excellent 
obierver, and am inclined to think from what he fays, as well as 
what has bgen hinted to me from my fitend General Davies, that. 
thele.
