canus onocrotalus orientalis), bat has a pe- 
culiar tuft or fringe of fibres in the middle 
of the upper mandible, fomething nearer the 
apex than the bale. This tuft has not been 
mentioned by any author, and is likewife 
wanting in Edwards’s pelican, t. 92. with 
which the Society’s fpecimen correfponds in 
every other circumflance. The P. Onocro- 
talus occidentalis, Linn, or Edw. t. 93 
American pelican, is very different from it : 
the chief differences are the colour, which 
in our Hudfon’s Bay bird is white, but in 
Edwards’s is of a greyifh brown ; and the 
fize, which in the white bird is almofi: double 
of the brown one. The quill-feathers are 
black, and the fhafts of the larger ones white. 
The Alula , or baftard wing, is black. The 
bill and legs are yellow.
