 Dr. Latham ; and the only one as that experienced Ornithologift in- 

 forms usj with all his affiduity he was ever able to procure in a recent 

 ftate ; nor could he even afcertain the fex. i\nd with refpeft to the bird 

 before us we have to acknowledge ourfeives under the fame uncertainty : 

 it is introduced as an extraordinary variety, the plumage being

Our prefent fabjecl is rather fmaller than the bird we have before 

 delineated, and may prefent a tranfition in the grow th of this par-

 think it an adult variety than a younger bird. 



That thefe birds vary in appearance may be readily colle6led from 

 authors ; in the fpecimen figured by Albin, the tail was uniformly of 

 one colour, without any bars, Linnaeus defcribes it as having only one
