is certainly the Mango Bird of India, as Mr. Macneil { found it in 
great plenty in the ifland of Salt, and fays the notes are plaintive 
and melodious, though fimple: it is probably the bird called at 
Malabar by the name of Magnakii ; faid to be entirely yellow, except 
the wings, which are black §.
