This bird very much refembles the fong thrufh in colour, but is perfectly 
diftinguifhable from it by its make. Its tail is half'an inch fhorter, and its neck 
is not fo long, but its body is confiderably, thicker, fo that it exceeds the fong 
thrufh in weight. It has alfo a fhort black mark paffing aEPaB the eye, and 
is fomewhat, whiter under the chin. 
It isa lonely, folitary bird, frequenting heaths, and open countries only, and 
does not remain in England the year through, migrating to us about the latter 
end of March, and remaining till the autumn. Though fcarce, it is well known 
to the bird-fanciers, who value it highly on account of its fong, which is fu- 
periour to that of any other bird of this genus,
