I am in fome doubt whether this is really a diftin@ f{pecies 
from the Guiana Oriole *, vol. i. p. 430. of this Work, as the 
markings are pretty nearly the fame; but the one here defcribed 
is fhorter by almoft an inch and a half than that referred to, and 
the bill is ftouter in proportion, and fomewhat curved at the tip, 
efpecially in Edwards’s figure. I have feen this bird, but cannot 
at prefent charge my memory with a fufficient idea of the differ- 
ence: let others, therefore, judge of this matter for themfelves. 
One thing however I cannot allow, which Is, that it is anywife 
allied to the Red-winged Oriole +, as Buffon fuppofes {. This laft 
bird is never red on the under parts, and the red fpot is chiefly 
on the inner leffer wing coverts ; whereas in the bird at prefent 
treated of, the ridge of the wing only is red.
