HESE birds are fuperior in fize to the black 
bird: their length is eleven inches; their 
breadth feventeen. The bill in fome is wholly 
black, in others the upper half is yellow: on each 
fide the mouth are a few briftles: the head and 
whole upper part of the body are dufky, edged 
with pale brown: the quil-feathers, and the tail 
are black. The coverts of the wings, the upper 
part of the breaft, and the belly are dufky, flightly 
edged with afh-color. The middle of the breaft is 
adorned with a white crefcent, the horns of which 
point to the hind part of the neck. In fome 
birds this is of 2 pure white, in others of a dirty 
hue. In the females and in young birds this mark 
is wanting, which gave occafion to fome natura- 
lifts to form two fpecies of them. | 
The Ring-Ouzel inhabits the Highland hills, the 
north of Eygland, and the mountains of Wakes.
