injury.
This feems to vary very little from the laid : the breaft is black,
which is white in the other : and the wings exceed the tail in
length ; whereas, in the other, they are only equal. They cannot
b,g but varieties merely, if not fexual differences.

Q IZ E of the Mavis : length nine or ten inches. The bill dufkyj
befet with briftles at the bafe: irides fapphire-coloured : from
the angles of the mouth, through the eyes, is a black ftreak: the
upper parts of the body are dark brownilh afh-colour; the under
parts cinereous white: in the middle of the wing are a few white
feathers : the quills and tail are nearly black : all the feathers of
the lafly except the two middle ones, are obliquely tipped, with
white : legs dark afh-colour: claws black.
This is found at Surinam and Brajil.
Edwards feems to think it near a-kin to the great Shrike, and
Linnaus is of the fame opinion : though others * rank it with the
Chatterers. Thefe birds are common, likewife, at Guiana, where
they frequent watery places, and are found in great numbers- together.
They are obferved, at frequent intervals, to fet up a great
cry all together: this circumftance affording a happy and certain
prefage to the thirfty traveller, in the immenfe forefts of Guiana„
where he may meet with water toquench his drought..
