The female makes the neft of a cylindrical form, a trifle 
curved ; fix inches long, and four and a quarter in diameter ; com- 
pofed of dried fibres and leaves, and lined with large pieces of the 
fame leaves within. This is faftened to the horizontal branch of 
fome low tree, the opening beneath. The eggs only two in 
number, white, marked with {mall pale red fpots, chiefly at the 
large end. 
Buffon * mentions a bird of this kind, which is of a pale rofe- 
colour mixed with grey, which he thinks may be this fpecies not 
in full plumage, or moulting. Perhaps it may belong to the fol-

Buffon apologizes for the laft; and the defcription fo well

Edwards’s figure exprefles the bird perfectly. As to the re- 
ference to Briffon’s Mufcicapa, by Linneus, it is not the fame

catcher +.
