White-beaded 'Oriole, Gen. Syn. ii. p. 422. N° 4.
JT E N G T H nine inches and a half; breadth thirteen and a
half; weight an ounce and three quarters. The head white,
except a fpot of black on the crown : neck and bread glofly black,
Lotted wirh white : leffer’wirig coverts the fame, but more faint:
baftajd wing fpotted white and black ; the outer quills white : the
red of the bird brow-nidi black-: legs pale delh-coiour. '
This was brought to Mr. Hutchins, while at Hudfon’s Bay, by
the name o f Wawpawchou Chuckithou, in the month of July, 1781;
faid to refort among other Blackbirds, but not common. I fufpeft
it to be a variety of my White-headed Oriole.
Another fimilar to this is mentioned in the Arbiic Zoology *,
which was aboutSan inch diorter: head and throat white: ridge
o f the wing, fird primary, and thighs, the fame ; and a few oblong
ftrokes of white on the bread : the red o f the bird dufky, glofied
■ in parts with green. This likewife is mod probably a fecond variety
o f the White-headed Oriole, being found at Hudfon's Bay.

C I N C E the fird publication o f my Synopfis, this bird has twice
been Ihot in England. One o f the fpecimens is now in my
collection. The Var. A. o f this fpecies is common in India,
where it is called Mango-bird, as.it appears fir-ft at the ripening of
that fruit, and is at that feafon in great plenty *.

J E N G T H between feven and eight inches. Bill dulky: head,

Bay, where it is alfo found.
