breadth feven inches. The bill is black, 
very fhort, thick, and very convex, differing great- 
ly from all others of the titmoufe kind: the bafe 
is befet with {mall briftles: the irides are of a hazel 
color. The top of the head, from the bill to the 
hind part, is white, mixed with a few dark grey 
feathers; this bed of white is entirely furrounded 
with a broad ftroke of black, which, rifing on 
each fide the upper mandible, paffes over each eye, 
unites at the hind part of the head; and continues 
along the middle of the back to the rump: the 
feathers on each fide of this black ftroke are of a 
purplifh red, as are thofe immediately incumbent 
on the tail. The covert feathers of the wings are 
black: the fecondary and quil-feathers are dufky, 
the largeft of the latter are wholly fo; the leffer and 
more remote have their exterior fides edged with
