This was fent to Buffon from the Cape of Good Hope, but with- 

 out any account of its natural climate or manners ; but he is clear 

 in its being a diftindt fpecies. 



I obferve a bird in the collection of Mifs Blomefieldj which I 

 fancy to be the fame,, or very little different. It anfwers in fize^ 

 and came alfo from the Cape of Good Hope; but in her fpe~ 

 eimen the whole of the under wing coverts are of a fine deep 

 blue. Whether this circumftance was in Buffotfs bird is not 

 mentioned.
