122 ORIOLE. 



Inhabits Jamaica, Mexico, &c. in some from the former place, 

 the greater wing coverts were wholly white, and the yellow parts 

 inclining to olive. 



Edwards's bird is bigger than that of Brisson : in the latter the 

 lore and chin only are black ; but in the former the chin and throat 

 also, and the coverts have a large portion of white ; the yellow parts 

 in Brisson 's are full and bright, but in that of Edwards of a greenish 

 yellow. 



33— LEAST BONANA ORIOLE. 



LENGTH five inches and three quarters. Bill black ; through 

 the eyes black ; chin and throat the same ; head, breast, and under 

 parts fine yellow ; deeper and more inclined to orange on the two 

 former ; back, wings, and tail fine olive or yellow green ; quills dusky, 

 edged with the same ; tail rounded, plain ; legs brown. 



A second of these had the wing coverts deeply margined with 

 yellow ; the rump fine yellow, as well as the under parts of the body; 

 legs brownish flesh-colour. — The chin in this bird is black, and cheeks 

 under the eye, but not the throat ; and being rather smaller, seems 

 to prove it to differ in sex, or to be a young bird.
