dually changes whitifh at the covert-feathers 
beneath the tail. It hath yellow ifh lines 
paffing from the noftrils above the eyes in 
form of eye-brows : the covert-feathers 
above the tail are alfo yellowilh. It hath 
twelve feathers of equal length in its tail. 
The legs and* feet, which are pretty ftrong 
for fo lmall a Bird, are all of a dulky 
colour. The toes Hand three forward, 
and one backward. 
Fig. i. the Black Linnet, was brought 
to me, newly dead, by a Gentleman of 
St. James’s Houfe y who informed me, 
that, when living, it was the property of 
Her Majefty Queen Charlotte, and that 
it was brought from the coaft of Guinea 
in Africa. Mr. BrilTon, in his Ornithology, 
Vol. III. P. 28. has defcribed a Bird much 
like it, which he calls Tangara Noir. 
Fig. 2. I received from my friend Mr. 
James Leman, of London ; who informed 
me, it was brought from the coaft of 
Guinea in Africa. I take it to be a non- 
defcript, as I can find no defcription agree- 
ing with it. 
Fig. 3, the Creeper, was lent me by 
Mr. Millan, Bookfeller, who hath obliged 
me with many fubjedts for this work. I 
take it to be the female of a Bird already 
figured by me, Pla. 122. It is the Grim- 
pereau de la Martinique, ou le Sucrier, of 
Mr. Briffon. See his Ornithology, Vol. III.

J'ai receu VOiff'eau de la Fig. 2. de mon
