CAROLINA CHATTERER. 
As we have taken, from Edwards, his ex- 
quisite figure of the Carolina Chatterer, we 
have adopted the name by which he, as well 
as Catesby, distinguishes it, and shall also give 
his description. 
The bill," says he, " is short, a little 
arched on the top of the upper mandible, and 
of a blackish colour : round the base of the 
upper mandible are small black feathers, which 
form a bar reaching beyond the eyes ; this 
black bar is bordered with wd:iite, both above 
and beneath the eyes. It has long feathers on 
the top of the head, which it raises into a 
crest, or lets fall, at pleasure. The head and 
neck are of a reddish -brov/n or bay colour. 
The breast is almost white. The belly and 
thighs are of a pale yellow. The covert- 
feathers beneath the tail are whitish. The 
back is of a dark brown colour. The rump, 
and covert-feathers on the upper side of the 
tail, are of a light ash-colour. The wings, on 
their upper sides, are ash-coloured; the greater 
quills
