THRUSHES. 
These Birds derive their common English name from the 
spots that are spread over the plumage of the under parts of 
their bodies ; on the same account as also a common disease 
of the mouth (Aphthae) is similarly denominated. The Latin 
name of the Genus (Turdus,) and the old name of the Wrasses 
as found in Gesner and Ray, are descriptive of the same cha- 
racters •
