THRUSH. 159 



Inhabits Jamaica, described from a specimen in the British 

 Museum ; how far this may prove to be a young one of the Red- 

 legged, we are not able to determine : we have quoted Azara's bird 

 with hesitation, for in that the feathers are edged with red and rufous ; 

 the brown colour is glossy, and the edges of the quills have a golden 

 tinge. — M. A's bird is found in Paraguay ; said to make the nest of 

 twigs, &c. lined with dry leaves; in one nest were found three 

 white eggs.
