spots of the same colour; fifteen grey, slightly reddish, 

 and spots of the same colour; four dark olive grey, with 

 spots very indistinct; six greenish grey, nearly without 

 spots; and one a fourth smaller, colour normal.

 description. The points which distinguish it from the 

 Common Jay are clearly laid down in the specific cha- 

 racters used in Gene's remarks, which I have quoted 

 in the notice. The irides are white, streaked with 

 brown; feet horn-colour.
