THIS beautiful species, which is supposed to 

 inhabit China, is given on the authority of Dr. 

 Latham, who thus describes it : " Length nine 

 inches : beak dusky : irides brown : head, chin, 

 and nape, white : at the base of the beak begins a 

 yellowish streak, which passes beneath and takes 

 in the eye, but does not appear above it: the 

 neck is black : the upper part of the back and 

 scapulars ferruginous brown ; the lower of a dusky 

 black, inclining to ferruginous on the rump : 

 under parts of the body brown, except the breast 

 and thighs, which are yellowish: all the quills are 

 black, but the secondaries have white tips: tail 

 cuneiform, of a deep lead-colour, almost black : 

 legs dusky."
