Some birds have the margins o f the' brown, feathers paler than

This inhabits various parts, of South America.. By- fome faid.

* The fecondof L i n n x m . o r N-° 18. is quoted from the feme autBority.; but.
the patches of colour on the wings, rump, and tail, are faid to be white. It
mull therefore either be a variety, or double quotation by mere miftake ; and it
feems almoft'clear to us*that it is the famefpecies as one before-defcribed.— See-
Black and yellow Oriole, yol.i. p. 418.----- Rather, however, .thin obtrude our
opinion againft that.of fo obfervant a naturalift as Linnaus, we lhall futter it- to
remain.as a fpecies of Tanager.

I am in fome doubt whether this is really a diftind fpecies
from the Guiana Oriole *,1 vo\. i. p. ^30. o f this Work, as the
markings are pretty nearly the fame; but the one here defcribed
is Ihorter by almoft an inch and a half than that referred to, and
the bill is ftouter in proportion, and fomewhat curved at the tip,
efpecially in Edwards's figure. I have feen this bird, but cannot
at prefent charge my memory with a fufficient idea of the difference
: let others, therefore, judge of this matter for themfelves.
One thing however 1 cannot allow,- which is, that it is anywife
allied to the Red-winged Oriole as Buffon fuppofes J. This laft
bird is never red on the under parts, and the red fpot is chiefly
on the inner leffer wing coverts; whereas in the bird at prefent
treated of, the ridge of the wing only is red.
