IZE of a Turtle: the plumage wholly green, except the tips of 
the quills, which are brown, and the orbits fulvous: tail very 
long, and cuneiform. 
It inhabits Chili, in South America; moft frequent in the plains 
fituated between the 34th and 35th degrees of latitude. It is a very 
clamorous fpecies, and often met with in inconceivably large troops, 
fo as to obfcure the light of the fun, making great havoc among 
the cultivated lands, feeding on the buds of trees, and herbs; happily, 
their arrival on fuch fpots is rarely till after the end of harvelt, for 
they often tear up plants with the bill, to the root itfelf. Multitudes 
are deftroyed yearly, without appearing to diminifh their numbers: 
the peafants mounted on horfeback, with a pole in their hands, ride 
into the middle of a flock, fettled on the ground, and before they are 
able to efcape, kill great numbers: their flefh is faid to be extremely 
delicate, and in courfe is preferred to every other.
