THE ELACK-BlLUsO cUUkuu.
Thia species of cuckoo (Cireulu Enthron-
thalna) is nearly aa numerous aa others, but
from its general resemblance haa lieen con
founded with the yellow ouokoo. Ita particular
markings, however, and aome of ita habita,
sufficiently characterize it as a diatinot species.
The general color is nearly that of a yellow
cuckoo; it ia almost an inch leas in length; the
tail ia of a uniform dark, ailky drab, except at
the tip, where a great many feathera are marked
with a spot of white, bordered above with a
alight touch of dull black; the bill is wholly
black, and much smaller than that of the yel
low, ami it wants the bright oinnamon on the
wings. But what constitutes ita moat distin
guishiug trait, is a bare, unwrinkled akin, of a
deep rod color that surrounds the eye. The
