36 crow. 



Native place uncertain. I observe one in the drawings of Mr. 

 Woodford, which was without the rufous band. This may be 

 probably allied to the foregoing, but the one here described differs 

 greatly in the bill, this being considerably stouter and shorter than in 

 the Changeable Species ; though in the plush-like feathers round it, 

 and the colour of the plumage not greatly differing. 



26.— INDIGO CROW. 



LENGTH twelve inches. Bill one inch long, stout, pale yellow 

 horn-colour, under mandible darker beneath ; the nostrils, forehead 

 between the bill and eye, and the chin, covered with short, downy, 

 plush-like, black feathers ; the rest of the plumage in general like 

 that of a Crow, the feathers inclining to purple on the margins, 

 especially on the back ; but those on the under parts are edged with 

 the gloss of steel ; scapulars, and part of the wing coverts, purplish 

 black, with deep margins of steel blue ; quills black; the tail three 

 inches long, nearly even at the end, the two middle feathers blue- 

 black, the others much the same, margined with steel-blue ; the 

 wings, when closed, reach three-fourths on the tail ; legs stout, scaly, 

 and brownish yellow. 



Inhabits New-Holland. 



27— RUFOUS-BREASTED CROA^. 



LENGTH seven inches. Bill three quarters of an inch, pale, 

 the base of the upper, and beneath the under mandible, dusky ; the 

 face quite round the bill covered with velvety tufted feathers, occu- 

 pying the whole chin, and concealing the nostrils ; besides which are 

 several hairs half as long as the bill, which is a little bent at the end,
