 PARROT.

La Perruche emeraude, Buf. oif. vi. p. 262. 

 Perruche des terres Magellaniques, Pl.enl. 85. 



T ENGTH thirteen inches. Bill dufky : the whole of this bird 

 is of a fine glofiy green, except the lower part of the belly, 

 vent, and tail, which are of a ferruginous cheftnut : the tail is 

 pretty long, and green at the tips : legs dufky. 



This is faid to come from the Straits of Magalhaen : but it may 

 be juftly doubted. No bird of this genus has been known to 

 vifit naturally farther than forty- three degrees north of the line] 

 and it is fcarce probable, that on the fouthern fide one Ihould be 

 found in a place whofe latitude is more than fifty : indeed 

 Forfter, in his Voyage*, rather wonders at meeting with Parrots 

 in Dufky Bay, New Zealand, whofe latitude is not more than 

 forty-fix.
