middle feathers brown from thence to the end, with the tips
white ; the four on each fide the fame, but the brown part -narrower,
as the feathers are more outward 5 the exterior feather
wholly white, except a brown fpot on the inner web : legs red.
The laft defcribed is moft certainly a mere variety of the
others. The few which I have feen feem to vary much: hence
the difagreement of the authors who have defcribed them,

g I L L black: upper parts not much unlike the laft: fides of D escrip tion«
the head mixed with more white : under the eye a dulky
ftreak : forehead, chin, and throat, nearly white : breaft mottled
with fmaller (pots : from thence all the under parts are white :
wings and tail as in the other ; the margins and tips of the laft

Both the above are defcribed from the Planches Enluminées. Place.
Whether the bafes of the quills and tail are white, cannot be af-
certained. Both inhabit Cayenne-, and it is very probable that
they are mere varieties of the ‘Eurnjtont firft defcribed.
