Fuly, the period of that infects * flicht in this 
country. 
This bird makes but a fhort ftay with us: ap- 
pears the latter end of May; and difappears in the 
northern parts of our ifland the latter end of 4uguft,

the head lower than the tail, as expreffed in the 
upper fiowre in the plate; the lower jaw quivering

to reiterate it when in purfuit of the female among 
the trees. | |

two: they are of a long form, of a whitifh hue, 
prettily marbled with reddifh brown,
