duller, but there seem no characters sufficiently 
distinct to entitle it to be considered as a sepa- 
rate species. Dr. Latham, among his recent 
liberal communications to the editor, says, “ I 
-have described the Tantalus Falcinellus and 
the 7. igneus as distinct species, but now sus- 
' pect them to be one and the same bird, differing 
in age or sex. They are common in Ztaly, and 
are seen in Indian drawings.” 
Mr. Pennant, in the Arctic Zoology, informs 
us, on the authority of Mr. Oedman, that this 
species has appeared, of late years, in the isle 
of Oland, in the Baltic, and begins to form 
a settlement there and to return annually. 
Mr. Montagu states, in the Linnean Transac- 
tions, that the Green Ibis of Latham,* was shot 
in Devonshire, in September 1805, and reason- 
* ably doubts whether it was specifically different 
from the Tantalus igneus. Ep. ~
