Description. 



A THIRD Variety, from New Zealand, differed in having 



the crown blue: reft of the head black: throat, and round 



the neck, white : a ftreak over the eye, the hind part of the 



neck, and the belly, buff-coloured : vent black : wings and tail 



blue : round the knee black : legs brown. 



Place. This was found at Dujky Bay, where it is called Ghotarre. 



All the above have come under my infpeclion : whereby it is 

 manifeft, that this fpecies is common to many parts of the South 

 Seas ; and, if I am not miftaken, not far different from N° 1 1, 

 which is found- in the Molucca IJles ; which, if not the fame, 

 is a fpecies nearly allied to this ; but in the Molucca one no part of 

 xhe under mandible is white.
