" The bill is formed much like those in the other Parrots, and of a light 

 flesh-colour ; the iris of the eye is of a very dark hazel-colour, so that it 

 appears aljnost black ; . . . the eye is placed in a plat of bare skin of a whitish 

 colour. Immediately beneath the bill it hath a little spot of fine red or scarlet 

 feathers ; the remainder of the head and neck is of a full grass-green colour, as 

 are the back, rump, and tail ; the greater quills are of a dark green colour; all 

 the covert-feathers of the wings are of a reddish colour, except the smaller 

 feathers round the ridges of the wings, which are green ; the breast, belly, 

 thighs, and covert-feathers beneath the tail are of a lighter green, and more 

 inclining to yellow than those on the upper side of the bird ; the legs and feet 

 are of a light flesh-colour ; the toes are disposed as in other Parrots " (Edwards). 

 Dimensions (taken from Edwards' figure) : total length 1\ inches, wing 2"9, 

 middle tail-feathers 4, outer tail-feathers l£, culmen 0'5 (Finseh). 



Hub. Unknown. 



Edwards mentions two specimens of this bird, one of which was said to be 

 from East Indies. Wagler thought that it might belong to the genus Sitface, 

 and compares it with Sittace tirica. Dr. Finseh thinks that it is probably a 

 Brotogerys, having the naked circle round the eyes ; he finds that it has a great 

 resemblance to B. tuipara.
