PURPLE GRAKLE. 
227 
Crow Blackbirds are also indigenous. The true Gracula barita 
of Linnaeus is not yet satisfactorily ascertained; the Boat-tailed 
Grakle of Latham’s General Synopsis, is unquestionably the 
Purple Grakle of Wilson. The best figures of the Purple Jack- 
daw which we have seen, are those given in Bonaparte’s Ornith- 
ology, vol. 1, pi. 4. They were drawn by Mr. Alexander Ri- 
der of Philadelphia, (not by Mr. Audubon, as is stated,) from 
specimens brought from East Florida, by Mr. Titian Peale and 
myself. — G. Ord.
