Description. Q I Z E much lefs than the laft : length four inches three quar- 

 ters. Bill dufky : the colour much the fame as in that 

 bird, but feems to be paler on the rump : the tail is cuneiform 

 and not fo long in proportion : fides of the body very lightly 

 tinged with red. 



In fig. 3. the fize and colour likewife correfponds, but the 

 under parts are grey inftead of white : the tail is likewife cu- 

 neiform, and the under part of it grey : the legs yellow in 

 both. 



Buffon* thinks that the three laft are the fame fpecies; which I 

 would not venture to deny, were the fize the only difference j 

 but the Jhape of the tails not being the fame, is an infuperable 

 objection, in my opinion. As to the two laft, I really think them 

 to be fexual differences, or varieties of the fame bird. 

 Place. Thefe all inhabit Senegal.
