CORRESPONDENCE OF RAY. 185 



I saw another, perhaps the female, hke the former in 

 all things, save that the breast and belly were all of one 

 colour (leucophaeous), not growing whiter toward the tail, 

 and that the two utmost rectrines had no white at all, 

 nor scarce any appearance of yellow in the rest, and but 

 four tagged or pointed with crimson ; and which I did 

 wonder at, there were indeed but ten feathers in the tail. 

 Whether this was the natural number, or that two had 

 been shot away, I could not satisfy myself. 



Dr. Hans Sloaue to Mr. Bay. 



Sir, — In turning over my Paris Garden Catalogue, I 

 found a catalogue of nondescript plants growing there in
