18 TANAGER. 



flocks, but chiefly in pairs; roosts at night on the palm trees; has 

 little or no song, except a sharp, disagreeable voice may be called 

 so. The inhabitants call it L'Eveque, or Bishop. 



A. — Gracula glauca, Mus. Carls. m. t. 54. 



Length seven inches. Bill as the other; wing coverts, at the 

 bend, mixed bluish and white, beneath them whitish ; greater quills 

 bluish green ; the secondaries almost wholly brown ; tail bluish ; the 

 legs dusky. 



19.— SHOWY TANAGER. 



Tanagra ovnata, Ind. Orn. Sup. xlvii. Mus. Carls, iv. t. 95. 

 Showy Tanager, Gen. Syn. Sup. ii. 205. Shaw's Zool. x. 466. 



LENGTH seven inches. Bill and legs dusky grey ; plumage 

 above brownish green, beneath pale grey ; head pale bluish violet ; 

 lesser wing coverts not unlike the back, middle tipped with yellow, 

 making a bar on the wing; the rest brownish green ; quills and tail 

 black, the outer margins greenish yellow. 



Inhabits the East Indies. One of these, in the collection of Lord 

 Stanley, was a trifle longer : the head, neck, and under parts pale 

 bluish violet ; lesser coverts, at the bend of the wing, the same ; the 

 second series yellow, forming a patch, like a bar, on the wing ; rest 

 of them green ; quills and tail dusky, edged with green ; back and 

 rump dull dusky green ; lower belly and vent yellowish. This seems 

 much allied to the Bishop Tanager.
