La féconde efpèce eflhuppée & plus petite que lautre , &M. Bâillon croit que ces différences, avecquelques autres variétés dans les cou-leurs du bec & du pîumsge, font fufti-fantes pour en faire deux efpèces dif-tinâes & féparées. Il eft aufîî perfuadé que toutes les fpar^tules naiffent grifes comme les hérons-argrettes, auxquels elles reffemblent parla formée du corps, le vol & les autreshabitudes \ il parle de celles de Saint-Domingue comme formant une troi^fième efpèce -, iiiais il nous paroît , parles raifons que nous avons expofées ci-devant, que ce ne font que des variétésquon peut réduire à une feule & mêmeçfpèccparce que linftinâ: & toutes leshabitudes naturelles, qui en réfultenti Tani • ^I^ FL^. pa<:/, 220.

Bâillon a obfervé fur cinq de cesfpatules quil seft donné la peine d ouvrir,que toutes avoient le fac rempli de che-vrettes 5 de petits poiffons & dinfectesd eau 5 & comme leur langue eft prefquenulle, & que leur bec neft ni tranchantni garni de dentelures , il paroît quilsne peuvent guère faifir ni avaler des aa^guîlles ou dautres poiiTons qui fe défen-dent, & quils ne vivent que de très-petits animaux, ce qui les oblige à cher-cher continuellement leur nourriture. Il y a apparence que ces oifeaux font,dans de certaines circonftances, le mêmeclaquement que les cigognes avec leurhtc \ car M. Bâillon en ayant blefîe un,obferva quil faifoit ce bruit de claque-ment, & quil lexécutoît en faifant mou-voir très Vite & fucceffivement les deuxpièces de fon bec, quoique ce bec foitil foible quil ne peut ferrer le doigt quemollement.
