This fingular fpecies is rather larger than the jay, being in length fourteen 
inches, in breadth twenty-one. The bill is dark horn colour: eyes dark brown: 
upper part of the head, and nape of the neck, brown black: the general colour 
of the plumage is rufty brown, marked with triangular white fpots, which are 
largeft on the under parts: the vent is white: quills and tail black, the latter 
tipped with white: legs black. 
This bird is very rare in England, only having been met with twice that we 
' yet know of, but is frequently found on various parts of the continent, fome- 
times in vaft flocks, and is faid greatly to refemble the jay in its manners.
