GOLDEN-CROWNED THRUSH. 
I Edwards adds, *' I received from Mr. Bar- 
ram, together with this and some others, 
le Little Thrush, figured and described by 
>atesby, in his Natural History of Carolina; 
ut this I have figured is smaller, and the least 
the Thrush kind yet known.'* 
' The description Edwards gave of this bird, 
nd which he figured of the natural size, being 
ery little larger than a Sparrow, is as follows 
It's bill is of a dusky colour; except the 
Mse of the lower mandible, which is of a 
iie'Sh-colour. The top of the head is of a fine 
jgolden colour : over each eye passes a black 
line. The hinder part of the neck, the back, 
wings, and tail, are all of a greenish brown, 
©r olive-colour; the inner covert-feathers of 
the wings are whitish ; the inside of the quills, 
iind underside of the tail, are ash-coloured ; the 
throat, breast, and sideSj are white, with 
iongish black spots down the middle of the 
feathers; and the middle of the belly, the 
thighs, and the covert-feathers under the tail, 
are purely white. The legs and feet are of 
the usual make, and of a yellowish browii 
colour."
