green, the others are of a deep steel-blue, having the 

 inner webs bordered with chestnut-red. Two beau-

Another lovely bird having a singular distribution 

 of the plumes upon the neck, will be seen on our 

 next Plate. The form of the tail, however, is very 

 different, and the bill is distinctly curved from the. 

 base.
