MANAKIN. 227 



Found with the two last, and according to Buffon, is a farther 

 Variety. M. Manoncour says, he has observed the red garter, as in 

 the two former, but remarks, that it is not constant ; nor have we 

 ever met with it. This, like the others, is found in Guiana, and said 

 to sing remarkably well ; chiefly met with in places where reeds grow.
