BLACK JACKDAW. 139° 
In this description it will be seen that Brisson 
differs from Temminck in the length of the primaries. 
First shortest, fourth longest; while Temminck says:— 
“First quill longer than the ninth, third and fourth 
equal.” 
The following is M. Temminck’s diagnosis of C. 
monedula, the Common Jackdaw:—“ First quill shorter 
than the ninth, second and fifth equal, the fourth 
shorter than the third.”
