Find that it is not the Pelecanus Sula of Linmeus, but the Sala
Hbieri, a different bird, and a mere variety o f our Common Gan-
met, which is now and then found in this kingdom*. It chiefly
varies in having fome o f the fecond quills, and fome of the tail
feathers, black.
Mr. Martin, of 'Teingmouth, in Devonjhire, fufpefts that the
Garnet breeds thereabouts, as he has feen the old birds in the
fummer feafon.

g I Z E o f a Buck: length twenty inches. Bill ftrait, as in the
Gannet, and fhaped like it j colour reddifh brown, with a dufky
■ or black point j the bafe, and fkin round the eye, o f a deep red.
The plumage is wholly white, except the wings, fcapulars, and
middle o f the back, which are dufky, and the quills b la ck : the
tail is even at the end : legs blood red.
I apprehend this bird to be a variety o f the Lejfer Garnet. It
differs chiefly in being fmaller, and in having the tail feathers
white throughout, which in the other are only white at the bafe,
the reft o f the length being black.
