The Green Black-cap Fly-catcher. 
T his Bird is figur’d of its natural Bignefs ; for fliape of Body it"s like Robin 
Red-breajl ; the Bill is flender, of a middling Length, bowed downward a very 
little towards the Point, which is lharp, of a dusky or Horn-colour above, the lower 
Mandible lighter, both a little Yellow next the Head \ the Crown, Sides, and hinder 
Parts of the Head, are cover’d as it were with a Cap of black Feathers, having a Point 
or Corner under each Eye ; the Eyes are placed on each Side the Head in the middle of 
the black Part; the Throat, quite to the Bill, and the whole remaining Part of the Bird, 
is of an equal blue-green Colour; the Quills are fomething darker than the other Parts, 
efpecially the greater or outer Quills, which loie their Greennefs by degrees, and become 
blackilh at their Tips; the Legs and Feet, which conform to the ufual Shape, in fmall 
Birds, are of a dark Lead-colour. 
The Blue-headed Green Fly-catcher. 
T his Bird, in Figure and Magnitude, is equal to the above-deforib’d, or if there 
be any Difference on comparing the Birds themfelvcs, I thought this rather 
the leaf!-; the Shape of the Bill is the lame with the above; it is of a light Afh-colour 
or White, in the upper Part lighteft at the Bafe ; the lower Mandible is of ‘a darker 
Alli-colour \ the Top and Sides of the Plead are of a light Blue-colour ; the Throat, 
jufi under the Bill, is White, for a fmall Space; the Neck, whole Body, and Tail, 
are of a very yeilowifii Green ; the Wing on the Shoulder, or Part next the Head, 
hath a roundifh Spot of Blue ; the Covert-feathers and Quills, except the Greater, are 
Yellow-green, like the Body ; the greater Qiiills are of a dark Brown, or black Co- 
lour ; the under Side of the Tail is dusky ; the Legs and Feet of a faint yellow Co- 
lour. 
Thefe two Birds are preferved in the Cabinet of his Grace the Duke of Richmond ; 
they are Natives of Stir'ma?n. They being fo like in Shape and Colour, I am inclined to 
believe them Male and Female of the fame Species; but it is hard to determine an^ 
thing abfolutely, unlefs one had been in the Country, where they are Natives, and 
made particular Obfervations of them. Thefe Birds may be ranged with flender-bilfd 
Small Birds, whofe Tails are all of one Colour. I believe thefe Birds have not before 
been figur’d or deferib’d.
