camis onocrotalus orientalis), but has a pe- 

 culiar tuft or fringe of fibres in the middle 

 of the upper mandible, fomething nearer the 

 apex than the bafe. This tuft has not been 

 mentioned by any author, and is likewife 

 wanting in Edwards's pelican, t. 92. with 

 which the Society's fpecimen corresponds in 

 every other circumftance. The P. Onocro- 

 talus occidentalis, Linn, or Edw. t. 93 

 American pelican, is very different from it : 

 the chief differences are the colour, which 

 in our Hudfon's Bay bird is white, but in 

 Edwards's is of a greyifh brown ; and the 

 iize, which in the white bird is almoft double 

 of the brown one. The quill-feathers are 

 black, and the (hafts of the larger ones white. 

 The Alula, or baftard wing, is black. The 

 bill and legs are yellow.
