f jp H I S is a common bird both in India and China. I have ob-
ferved the following differences :
One in the Leverian Mufeum, three inches and a half in length.
The general colour olive brown : the under parts cinereous white:
between the bill and eye yellowifh, as is the edge of the wing :
bill and legs black.
In a fecond, in Lady Impey’s drawings, the body and tail are
brown : rump, breaft, and belly, white : bill dufky: legs very
pale.

brown ; beneath, from the breaft, white, undulated with dufky :
vent yellowifh : tail pale reddifh afh-colour: legs dufky.
I met with this among fome drawings from the E'aft, in the collection
o f Mrs. tVheeler •, but whether inhabiting India or China,
it was not certain.

lower order of wing coverts dufky, forming a bar o f the fame on

tail pale foot-colour : the reft of the body* viz. back, thighs, under
part of the tail, and the reft of the wing, white: legs fangui-
neous.
This is faid to be of the fize and ftature of the Bulfimh, and the
probability of its being a variety of that bird is likewife hinted :
