 made a diftind fpecies of this bird, under the name we have 

 affixed to it ; we have adopted the fame fynonyms, though 

 we have our doubts whether the prefent is the bird referred 

 to in the above author's.

 half. Bill fmall, notched ; cere and bill covered with fcurf ; 

 irides yellow, legs long and flender, claws fhort and not

 the female being duller, and having the breaft much more 

 inclined to dulky than the male ; the female exceeds in fizcj* 

 being eighteen inche.s long and thirty in breadth, and weighs 

 near twelve ounces.
