BRITISH BIRDS. 
FoJjambe got his bird. We think (according to his 
description) that it differs chiefly from the Little Galli- 
nule in its being of a more plain plumage, being com- 
posed of deeper and lighter shades of cinereous olive 
brown, and in wanting the white spots and other 
markings of the latter bird, and in its being feathered 
nearer to the knees. Our drawing was made many 
years ago, from a stuffed specimen in the Wycliffe 
museum, but we did not then venture upon describing 
it as a new species, and it is only from such authorities 
as Mr Foljambe and Mr Montagu that we now adopt 
the opinion. We had no opportunity of examining 
the under plumage of our bird, but the whole of the 
upper parts, from the head to the tail, were of a deep 
olive brown, with the middle of each feather more or 
less marked with a black or dusky colour.
