GOATSUCKER. 361 



neck white ; the breast and belly grey and black mixed, interspersed 

 with a few white spots; lower belly and thighs whitish, spotted with 

 black ; quills black, the first five marked with a white spot; the two 

 middle feathers of the tail grey, crossed with five or six blackish 

 bands ; the others black, bordered with white, which takes up most 

 space on the outer feathers; legs yellow brown. 



Inhabits Cayenne, where it is found in the plantations ; frequently 

 quivers the wings, and utters a weak cry, like that of a toad ; also 

 another noise, not unlike that of a dog ; it is not very shy, for it will 

 suffer any one to come very near before it will fly away, and when 

 disturbed, perches at no very great distance : it is not a rare species. 



The tail in the PI. enlum. is more than four inches long, and 

 nearly even at the end ; the middle feathers cinereous, marbled with 

 black dots, with five or six narrow curved black bars ; the exterior 

 feather white, crossed about the middle with an oblique narrow black 

 bar, the same near the tip; the two next feathers white within, but 

 divided in the middle of the white with black, and a broad margin 

 of black on the outer web, continuing round and including the end 

 of the feather. 



Only seen in Paraguay from September to November, hence 

 may be supposed a Bird of Passage there ; said have a note or cry 

 similar to the word Chuyguiguigui.
