S the names this and the precedent fpecies bear 

 do by no means fuit their colors, we have taken 

 the liberty of changing them to others more con- 

 gruous. Both thefe kinds agree entirely in their 

 marks ; and differ only in the colors •, in this the 

 head, wings and back are of a deep brown, fpotted 

 with black in the fame manner as the former : the Defer, 

 coverts of the wings and the fcapulars are adorned 

 with fimilar white fpots : the exterior edges of the 

 four firft quil feathers in both are ferrated : the breaft 

 in this is of a very pale afh color mixed with tawny, 

 and marked with oblong jagged fpots : the feet too 

 are feathered down to the very claws : the circle 

 round the face is aili-colored, fpotted with brown. 

 Both thefe fpecies inhabit woods, where they refide 

 die whole day •, in the night they are very clamorous -,
