F&aci, Inhabits Senegal. In the Leverian Mufettm is one of thefe,.
which differs in having a yellow feather here and there on the-
back: and the head of a cinereous brown.
Thefe are plenty in Senegal; fly in companies of five or fix together;
perch on the tops of the trees, which are here and there
fcattered in the burning fandy plains: their cry is fharp and difa-
greeable : they keep two and two clofe together, fo that two are
often fhot at once, and fometimes even the whole number of
them. Le Maire * fays, that there is a larger fort with yellow
on the back, which does not talk j but the lefier ones talk very.-
well.
