SIZE of a Lhrufh: length nine inches: bill black, ftout: crown of 
the head blue, fpotted with black in the middle; beneath the 
eyes, the cheeks, and fore part of the neck for half way, black: 
quills black: hind part of the neck, as far as the beginning of the 
back, and moft part of the belly and vent, rufous red. 
The native place of this bird is quite uncertain; I have only met 
with it in the engravings of M4. Gerini, who calls it a Woodpecker s 
but the bill is large, and more like that of the Barbet, hence I have 
ventured to rank it in that genus.
