Tf Ft Ree. $7) ER 
In Ray’s letters, page 137, a bird is mentioned by the name of 
Heath Throftle, taken from the Epitome of Hu/bandry, the author of 
which firft noticed it. Mr. Ray fuppofes it to be the Ring Ouzel, 
as that bird is called Heath Throfile; in Craven ; be this as it may, the 
late Mr. Lewiz fhewed me a pair of thrufhes fimilar to the Song 
Tbriujfe in colour, but they were darker, and the tail feemed rather 
fhorter; thefe were fhot near Dartford in Kent ; 1 remember to have 
made fome remarks upon thefe birds at the time, but having miflaid 
them, I cannot venture here to fay more on the fubject. 
IZE fuperior to the common Water Ouzel: head, wings, upper 
part of the body, and tail dufky: chin and throat white, at the 
bottom of the laft a bar of dufky: breaft, belly, and thighs white, 
with fhort black dtreaks pointing downwards, more numerous towards 
the lower belly and thighs: vent rufty yellow, croffed with bars of 
black: legs rufty yellow. 
This is faid to be found about Penrith; given to Mr. Pennant, by 
Mils Calvin *.

Red-legged Thruth, Gez, Syz. ili. p. 33. 29. 
HE male of this fpecies is wholly black, and has a cuneiform tail ; 
under the wings a large fpot of yellow. 
The female is grey, paler on the under parts ; between the bill and 
eye a black patch: chin white, with black markings, fometimes 
wholly black: tail feathers dufky, the four outer ones white at the 
tips: bill, eyelids, irides, and legs orange red. 
* T took the above account out of the late Mr. Pennast’s notes, of a journey from 
Downing to Alfon Moor, in which is painted a figure of the bird, Mr. Pennant 
thought it to be a new fpecies.
