This bird is common in the woods of Guiana, and differs from the 

 former in having the trachea of a much greater length, defcending 

 on the breaft more than half way before it makes a turn upwards ; 

 after which it panes over the right clavicle, into the cavity of the 

 breaft. It may be obferved, that in both thefe birds the defcent is 

 on the left fide, and the afcent on the right. The Parraka, how- 

 ever, differs from the Marail; for the male only has the elongation 

 of the trachea; in the female it pafTes immediately to the bread with- 

 out the leaft Angularity. This bird is faid to fet up a very loud cry 

 at fun-fet, which is thought to be the loudeft of all birds in the new 

 world, and to greatly refemble the word Parraka repeated many 

 times together, from which it has obtained the name.
