X HE specimens we had an opportunity of 

 examining, differ a little in colors, both from 

 Mr. TVillughbys description, and from Mr. 

 Edzvards's figure. The forehead, chin, and lower 

 part of the neck in ours were brown, inclining 

 to ash color; the back and scapulars deep 

 brown, edged with ash color ; the coverts of 

 the wings with white, the edges of the lower 

 order deeply so, forming a white bar; the 

 breast, sides, and belly, white; the two first 

 streaked with brown; the coverts of the tail 

 marked with white and dusky spots alternately; 

 the tail ash colored, the outmost feather on each 

 side white; the legs were of a bluish grey; 

 and the toes, as a special mark, divided to the 

 very bottom; the weight four ounces and a 

 half.
