 ounces : and is in length eight inches and three quarters. The 

 bill is an inch and a quarter long, and of a horn-colour : the 

 head is black; on each fide are two white lines, the one palling 

 above the eye, and the other along the lower jaw; both arifing 

 from the bale of the bill : acrofs the hind head i-s a red band : the 

 upper parts of the body are black ; which colour is as it were 

 divided by alift of white feathers, like hairs, patting down the back : 

 the wings are fpotted with white : the under parts of the body 

 wholly white : the four middle tail feathers are black ; the next 

 on each fide obliquely white at the tip ; the laft but one white,, 

 with the bale black ; and the outer one wholly white : the legs?- 

 and claws are grey-brown. 



The female differs only in wanting the red on the hind head. 



Inhabits Carolina, Virginia, and Canada: Kalm fays, he fbund :

 holes in them.
