C I Z E of the Peitkhaps : length four inches three quarters. 

 Bill blackifh ; the bafe befet with a few briftles : the head, 

 neck, and upper parts, are black : the wings are alfo black, with 

 a deep orange bar acrofs the middle of them : fides of the body 

 orange : the belly, thighs, and vent, pale orange : the tail 

 orange, with one-third of the end black j but the two middle 

 feathers are wholly black. 



The female has the upper parts brownifh afh-colour : the under 

 white : tail, wings, and fides of the body, the fame, but yellow 

 inftead of orange : legs in both brown.. 



Mem. Edwards's, bird is lefs than that of Catejhy. 



This inhabits the fhady woods of North America, as far as 

 Hudfon's Bay, in fummer ; in winter migrates ; and is then faid 

 to be found in Jamaica and the neighbouring iflands. 



* I have great fufpicion that both thefe birds belong to the genus of Fly- 

 catcher, and are the fame, except in fex ; if fo, it would have been moft proper 

 to have placed them under that genus, rather than the prefent one. I have only- 

 examined thofe from Hudfcn's Bay, which appear to be true Flycatchers ; and it 

 remains Hill in fufpenfe whether Cate/iy's bird and that of Shane be the fame ; 

 as one fhewn to us for the female of the laft had the bill of a Warbler.
