LITTLE THRUSH. 
" This bird," adds Edwards, " I received, 
together with a smaller species of the Thrush"

nia: who says, that they arrive in April; and 
continue with them all the summer, where 
they breed and bring up their young. Catesby 
has figured it in his History of Carolina, but 
has given no description of it. Pie only says

a quarter: though, on comparing it with the 
Song Thrush, I found reason to give it quite a 
different description. According to Catesby, 
they continue in Carolina all the year, abiding 
in thick woods and swamps; but they do not 
sing. Sir Hans Sloane calls this bird simply 
the Thrush: and says, they frequent the 
woody mountains, tkc. but whether, or no, 
it be a bird of passage, he does not inform us.

cannot stay there; but Carolina, being many
