This merely differs in being larger, and in manners ; for Klein* 

 assures us, that it is so tame, as to be caught with the hand. 



A Variety is frequent in the woods of Georgia, in America, 

 weighing nearly an ounce ; is six inches and a half long, and ten and 

 a half broad; said to have all the manners of the European one, but 

 cannot from the size be strictly the same. — In a drawing of this, 

 communicated by Mr. Abbot, the rump seems much elongated, as 

 well as the tail ; yet the colours of the plumage appear quite the 

 same, as in our European Species.
