Variety. I n t h e Mufeum of M. Tunftal, Efquire, I obferved a variety of 



this bird. The bill plain horn-colour: the yellow on the throat 

 not bounded by black : the coverts of the wings and quills edged 

 with white : belly white : the tail even, and of a plain colour. -=• 

 Probably this may be a young male not in full plumage.
