'Description. 



Place. 



/ Tp l HE length of this bird is fixteen inches. The bill is of a 

 pale colour : the whole head and neck, as far as the breaftj 

 are crimfon : the back part of the head is crefted : the back, wings, 

 and tail, are of a deep brown, with a little mixture of cream- 

 colour on the wings : the under parts are of a deep cream-colour: 

 the legs lead-colour. 



The above defcription was taken from a fine fpecimen in the 

 "Leverian Mufeum, faid to have come from Cayenne. Buffon calls 

 the colour of the under parts of his bird fulvous, and fays it alfo 

 came from Cayenne. The difference is trifling; perhaps the va- 

 riation may arife from difference of fex.
