CIZE of a Pigeon. Bill red : general colour of the plumage 

 green ; paleft on the under parts : the throat is black, palling 

 behind to meet a crefcent of red at the back part of the neck : at 

 the bend of the wing a purplifti fpot : the tail * is longer than 

 the body, green fringed with blue, and of a pale yellow beneath : 

 legs dufky. 



This fpecies inhabits the fouthern part of the continent of 



* I find authors differ much in the length : Buffbn makes it fifteen inches long 

 in the whole : Willugbby fays the tail is fix inches long : Scopoli, that it is near 

 a foot. This will be the cafe in all long-tailed birds ; and perhaps it would be 

 better to judge by bulk than length in fuch birds.
