 chin white : the top of the head is ftreaked with black : the 

 wings and tail are of a deep greenilh blue : the back blue green :

Inhabits the IJland of Java. Buffon feems to think that the Place. 



Ten-rou-jouhn, a KingsfJIoer fo named by the natives of the ifland 

 of Celebes, may be a fpecies little or no ways different from the 

 above, though much lefs in flze ; for it is faid to be no bigger 

 than a Lark. The bill of it is red : and the head and back 

 green : belly yellowifh : and the tail of the fineft blue imagin- 

 able. I do not fee fo great a fimilitude in thefe two as Buffon; 

 for the head in this laft is expre-fsly faid to be green.
