HIS, or a flight variety, is found about Port Fack/on, in New Hol- 
land, and parts adjacent: it is wholly of a dufky black; but the 
fides of the head, the neck, and all beneath, are ath colour: the bill 
and legs dull yellow. In a fpecimen of this, we obferved the whole of 
the under parts from the breaft to the vent occupied by an afh colour- 
ed down, projecting greatly more than the feathers, which we fup- 
pofed would afterwards fupply its place, for it may be conjeétured, 
that birds in this ftate are no other than in.their firft feathers and. 
imperfect plumage..
