Clars II. LESSER DUN DIVER. 437 



The dun Diver, or female, is lefs than the male : 

 the head, and upper part of the neck are ferruginous; 

 the throat white : the feathers on the hind part are 

 long, and form a pendent creft: the back, the 

 coverts of the wings, and the tail are of a deep afh- 

 color : the greater quil-feathers are black, the lefTer 

 white : the bread, and middle of the belly are white, 

 tinged with yellow. 



We believe that Belcn* defcribes this fex under the 

 title of Bieure oyfeau, and afferts, that it builds its 

 neft on rocks and in trees like the Corvorant.
