which has great refemblance to the laft. The top of the 
head has a mixture of black and grey, and two ftreaks of black 
in the fame places as in the laft bird, but rather broader; the 
upper parts more inclined to rufous: fides of the head grey: 
under parts of the body dirty white, marked with a mixture of 
cinereous on the fore part of the neck: fides of the bady pale 
rufous: tail as in the laft bird; the under part of it cinereous ¢ 
legs pale yellow.

more than conjecture can be had about them, as their manners 
are not known. ;
