THRUSH. 157 



margined and tipped with white; in some individuals the wing 

 coverts are plain ash-colour. — The female has the crest like the 

 male, but rufous, with a rufous tinge throughout the grey in the 

 rest of the plumage. 



Inhabits Cayenne, and breeds several times in a year, laying 

 three eggs at a time ; cries like a young Chicken ; feeds on ants, 

 like the last species.

LENGTH four inches. Bill black above, and white beneath, not 

 remarkably stout ; top and sides of the head white, spotted with 

 black ; over the eye a broad black streak, and a narrow one from 

 behind the eye, blending itself with the former at the lower part; 

 chin white ; breast flesh-colour, marked with small black spots ; 

 back, wings, and tail brown, deepest on the back ; wing coverts 

 spotted with white; rump, belly, and vent rufous orange; thighs 

 cinereous; legs dusky. 



Inhabits Cayenne and Guiana, in the deep forests, and has the 

 general habits of the rest, besides some peculiar to itself. It never 

 mixes with others, though the same food suffices : chiefly met with 

 in small flocks of half a dozen, which unite together in a singular 

 cry, giving an idea of a chime, or three bells of different tones, and 

 very loud . It is supposed, that each bird has these three tones in 

 itself, and not that they are different in each bird ; but this is not 

 certain : this cry they make often, for whole hours, without ceasing. 

 It is not easily obtained, perhaps on account of the difficulty of 

 access to the place of its resort.
