B A R B E T. 



In one fpecimen which I have feen, inftead of a mixture on the 

 forehead, there is only a fmall fpot of white : the white ftreak, 

 which fprings behind the eye, is extended downwards on each 

 fide the neck : and fome of the outer tail feathers are white at the 

 bafe, otherwife like the above defcription. 



Were it not for the very great difproportion in their fize, one 

 would conclude them to be varieties of each other, they are fo 

 alike.
