and belly, slaty grey ; wing- coverts brown, appearing as a large 

 spot; quills and tail black, the two middle feathers of the latter 

 longer by half than the others; legs reddish. 



Inhabits the Isle of Manilla. This, if not a further Variety, is 

 greatly allied to the Superb Warbler. 



131.— HARRISON'S WARBLER. 



SIZE and shape of the Superb Warbler, but less than five inches 

 in length. Crown of the head, a patch on the jaw, and the nape, 

 a fine blue; shoulders brown ; the rest of the body as in the Superb 

 Warbler : the tail less than two inches long, nearly even, the two 

 middle feathers rather shorter than the rest, and all of them white 

 at the tips, and rounded at the ends ; bill and legs black. In some 

 the tail feathers were wholly of one colour. 



Inhabits New-Holland. — We have placed this as a distinct spe- 

 cies, chiefly on account of difference in shape of the tail, being 

 rather concave in shape than cuneiform, as is to be seen in every 

 Variety of the Superb Species. A specimen of this bird in Mr. 

 Harrison's Museum.
