size of a small 'pigeon. Its general hue is a rich sanguine rose 

 colour ; the abdomen and uropygium paler than the other parts. 

 The tail and wing-feathers are deep brown ; the bill and legs 

 yellow-brown ; the orbit mark, or part in which the eye is placed, 

 is white, imbedded on the fore part with black, which colour runs 

 just over the cere, so as to form a kind of black capistrum or band 

 in front ; the irides are yellow." {Miller.) 



Dr. Sharpe is of opinion that the plate is no doubt copied from a 

 native drawing.
