CRESTED LONG-TAILED Pvr. 
says, are really the same : the first and third 
being males ; and the second, which is raiher 
larger, a female ; this peculiarity, though 
principally confined to the birds of prev, ob- 
taining also in the Fly-Catcher, the Mou- 
cherolles, and the Tyrants. 
In BufFon's description of both male and 
female, though we see some resemblance of 
our Crested Long-Tailed Pye, we can bv no 
means discover enough to convince us, that he 
is speaking of the same bird. He observes, 
that Klein supposes it to be a Crested Thiaish; 
and Moehring, a Jackdaw : a striking in- 
stance, he adds, of the confusion bred by a 
rage for nomenclature. We have still ano- 
other, he concludes : Linnaeus imagines it to be 
a Raven ; but, as it has a long tail, he calls it 
Corvus Paradisi, or the Paradise Raven. 
BufFon, or his editor, seem to have for- 
gotten that, at the commencement of their 
account, it is said to be the Muscicapa Para- 
disi, of Linnseus ; consequentlv, not his Corvus 
Paradisi.
