THRUSH. 121 



ginous streak ; beneath it, from the gape to each jaw, another ; the 

 under part of the body dusky white, streaked with dusky ; quills as 

 the back, dusky within ; tail four inches long, even at the end, but 

 when spread, appearing rather hollow in the middle, the colour 

 cinereous ; shafts of the quills and tail feathers white. 



Inhabits New-Holland ; has gained the name from its harmonious 

 note ; is also called the Port Jackson Thrush ; yet is different from 

 one, which goes by that name, in White's Voyage. 



In some specimens the bill and legs are dark horn-colour, with 

 the bill somewhat smaller; and such is the one described in the 

 General Synopsis above quoted.
