This is certainly a nondefcript fpecies ; it only 
vifits Severn fettlement in fummer, not 
being feen there before June, when it ftays 
about a fortnight, goes further to the north- 
ward to breed, and pafies by Severn again 
in autumn on its return fouth. It is very dif- 
ficult to procure, and therefore it could not 
be determined whether the fpecimen was a 
•male or female. It frequents the plains, and 
lives on grafs-feeds; it weighs Ian ounce, 
is 6l inches long, and 9 inches broad : it has 
a fmall blue eye, and a whitifli bill faintly 
tinged with red; the whole body is blackifh, 
or of a foot colour, the belly alone with the 
two outermoft tail feathers on each tide being 
white. It is to be \yifhed that more fpeci- 
mens and circumftantial accounts of this 
bird were lent over, which would enable us 
to determine its character with more preci- 
llon.
