MANAKIN. 241 



coverts crimson ; on the belly a longitudinal blackish streak, bounded 

 with pale yellow ; sides dusky; legs black. 



Inhabits New-Holland ; called by Mr. Lewin a Honey-sucker. 

 Two specimens were sent to England — the one had a streak of black 

 down the middle of the belly, which in the other, was white ; and 

 this supposed to arise from difference of sex. Said to frequent high 

 trees in forests; to be active and ch earful, and to sing well, and 

 almost constantly; the song short, but pleasant, especially in passing 

 from one tree to another. 



36.— SWALLOW MANAKIN.

 Swallow Warbler, Gen. Syn. Sup. ii. 250. Shaw's Zool. x. 613. 



SIZE of the others. Plumage in general black ; from chin to 

 breast fine crimson ; from thence to the vent white, divided down 

 the middle with a broad black streak ; vent and under tail coverts 

 orange. 



Inhabits New-Holland. — It is very probable, that this, and the 

 two last described, may include but one species. 



37 —CRIMSON-VENTED MANAKIN. 



Pipra hsemorrhoa, Ind. Orn. ii. 561. Gm. Lin.\. 1004. 

 Crimson-vented Manakin, Gen. Syn. iv. 533. Shaw's Zool. x. p. 16. 



SIZE small. Bill pale; plumage above dusky black, beneath 

 white ; on the vent a spot of crimson ; under tail coverts white, and 

 reach almost to the end of the tail, which is very short; legs brown. 



Native place uncertain, supposed to be New-Holland : there 

 seems to be some coincidence between this and the three last de- 

 scribed.
