Differs from the commmon sort, only in having a mixture of 

 white feathers, and inhabits Mexico. 



D. — Corvus candidus, Bris. ii. p. 12. B. Id. 8vo. i. 151. Schw. Av. Sil. 245. 



This is white throughout, and met with in Norway and Iceland ; 

 more than one instance has also occurred to us, wherein the whole 

 brood was white, and in one buff-coloured ; a mixture of white in the 

 black plumage is not uncommon; and we are told that Crows in the 

 Orknies change more or less to white in the winter. Of these Mr. 

 Bullock had one in his Museum, in the intermediate state of change. 



2.— SOUTH-SEA RAVEN. 



Corvus Australis, Ind. Om.'u 151. Gnu Lin. i. 365. Daud.\\. 226.

LENGTH nineteeen inches. Bill strong, compressed on the 

 sides, in length two inches and three quarters, and black ; plumage 

 dusky black ; the feathers beneath the chin remarkably loose in 

 texture ; quills and tail brownish black, the latter eight inches long;
