This fpecies is welL defcribed: by the ornitho- 

 iogiftsj its weight is 3$ ounces, the. length 

 8 1 inches, and the breadth 1,7 inches ; it

(The number was loft, perhaps it is N° iy 9 , 



from Fort Albany 5 upon that fuppofition the 



account is as follows: a the natives call it 



" Waw-pujk-abrea-foijh, or white bear bird 5 



" it feeds on berries, infects, grubs, , worms., 



ic and fmall fhell-fiiTi ; vifits and leaves AU-

" Jopax 'jfotamis, and Borealis." ) 

 I find this bird anfwers very well to its defcripr 

 tion ; the throat, breaft, and upper part of 

 the belly are blackim, as in the defcriptions, , 

 but mixed with white lunulated fpots, which 

 are neither defcribed nor expreffed in rVL. 

 BrirTon's figure, and may be owing to the: 

 difference of lex, or climate.
