T ENGTH eight inches. Bill an inch long, rather bent, and of 

 a brown colour, darkefl at the tip : the throat, and fore part 

 of the neck, for an inch and a quarter, are covered with black vel- 

 vety feathers : the head, neck, and body, of a fine orange gold- 

 colour; beneath yellow : the edge of the wings and the tail are 

 black ; the laft has yellow fhafts, and is fringed with yellow 

 near the tip: the legs were wanting, as well as the quills, in 

 Edwards's fpecimen, from which he figured his bird; but in the 

 Leverian Mufeum there is a perfect one, in which I find the quills 

 and tail to be black ; in other things like that of Edwards. 

 Suppofed to inhabit the fame places as the former ones.
