, SIZE of the Redbreast, or a trifle larger. Bill stout, blackish, 

 beneath flesh-coloured ; upper parts of the plumage greenish brown, 

 paler on the rump, and ends of some of the tail feathers, all but the 

 two middle ones of which are rufous within ; sides of the head, and 

 under parts dirty orange; through the eye a brown line, and beneath 

 it a second, pointing downwards ; the wing coverts have yellowish 

 edges, and most of the quills are rufous on the inner webs; the legs 

 are blackish. 



Inhabits Jamaica. Mr. Edwards thinks this to be the Watchy 

 Picket of Sloane, and Linnaeus joins him in the same opinion : Mr. 

 Ra} r * compares it to the Jupujuba or Japu of Marcgrave ; but this 

 is our Black and yellow Oriole,! before described ; neither can it be 

 the Watchy Picket of Sloane, J which is also an Oriole ; nor do the 

 colours of the plumage in this agree with our bird. We therefore 

 must esteem it as a totally different Species, and are by no means 

 clear about the mode of nidification, whether it suspends the nest on 

 twigs of trees, or fabricates one like the generality of other birds.
