 the abdomen. Quill-feathers brown spotted with white. Tail- 

 feathers brown, pointed as usual in this genus; the two upper-

 gin. A grey patch encircles the eyes, bounded below by a 

 black stripe mixed with white spots, which runs from behind 

 the lower mandible.

This species is about nine inches in length, of a dusky green

 tips of the others are brown ; and the inside of the wings is of 

 the same colour, spotted with white. The tail-feathers are 

 black. The bill is blueish-black, and the legs are cinereous.
