TN the defcription of the Pfittacus atropurpureus, or Pompadour Parrot, 

 in a former number of this work, I mentioned a fpecies to which it 

 feemed very nearly allied, and of which it had fometimes been confidered 

 as a variety. The fpecies then mentioned is reprefented in the prefent 

 plate, and may juftly be confidered as one of the moft beautiful of the 

 whole parrot tribe.
