This bird is confiderably fmaller than the preceding, and differs from it in 

 the colour of its plumage, though there is fomething of a general refemblance. 

 The head is am-coloured : the back and moulders light brown : the wings and 

 tail fomewhat darker, the quill feathers edged with pale brown, and the outer 

 vane and part of the inner vane of the outermoft feathers of the tail white : the 

 rump is of a brownifh colour : the throat, breaft, and belly, white : the legs 

 and beak lead colour. 



The lefs white throat makes a very fimple neft of a little dry grafs at the 

 extremity of fome projecting branch of a bufh, at no great diftance from the 

 ground. The eggs refemble thofe of the greater white-throat, except in fize, 

 and being of a fomewhat paler hue : fee PI. XXIV. Fig. 4.
