CAROLINA CHATTERE R. 
large red spot. The tail is black, except the 
end, which is yellow." 
This is the entire account given by Catesby 
to accompany his figure ; which, unquestion- 
ably, is of very inferior merit to that of Ed- 
wards. The bird is placed in a very aukward 
position, for the sake of displaying the charac- 
teristic red spots on the eight small wing- 
feathers ; but the breast, which is more beau- 
tiful, though less curious, is thus wholly con- 
cealed. 
Though this bird be denominated, by Catesby 
as w^ell as Edwards^ the Garrulus Carolinensis, 
or Carolina Chatterer, it is by no m.eans pecu- 
liar to that part of America. Perhaps, it might, 
wifh greater propriety, be called the Ameiican 
Ci'-iatterer. Buffbn, who gives a very copious 
history of the Common Chatterer, or Ampelis 
Garrulus of Linntsus, mentions the Carolina 
Cbntterer as a variety. It's name, inEdwards^s 
Jdnnjsan List, is precisely the same, Ampelis 
G arraius ; nor, ;i>uclJ, can there be the smallest 
doubt of it's being the s.^me bird, under the 
inilu-cnce of differciit cUmat-.s.
