REPORT IN GENERAL. 
There is no change in the lives of the Apodas, thej' are as well 
as ever. In rainy weather they keep rather silent, but when it is fine 
they are heard all over the island, i i'ave kept hidden half-way up trees, 
which I have climbed and which Apodas frequent, to make sure of the 
right shade of colour of head and throat of females, and I can say now 
with certainty that it is a deep metallic indigo blue. All other parts 
of the body are brown, except at the end of belly towards tail, a light- 
greyish pink. 1 have received the colours from Mr. Brash, and I shall 
try to colour the sketches of Apodas the proper shades. I shall forward 
sketches via New York. Fowls arc seen again now and then. T have 
shot three, also a shark in the bay. All Hawks I have seen I have 
shot; there are very few and they are all strangers. 
I will now continue with an abstract of letter sent to 
Sir William Ingram .
