'T^HIS is the biggeft of all the Parrots of the new world, except 

 ■*" the Maccaw tribe. The bill is of a whitiih horn-colour : 

 the plumage green, but appears as if powdered all over with 

 meal: on the head is a yellow fpot: the feathers of the face 

 above the neck are flightly edged with brown : the under part of 

 the body is paler than the upper, and without the powdered ap- 

 pearance : the quills are outwardly black, except one part of 

 them, which is blue : on the wings is a large red fpot : tail fea- 

 thers the fame as the under part of the body for three parts of 

 their length, the reft yeilowifh green. 



This is from Cayenne, where it is much efteemed, as well for its 

 fize and Angularity of colour, as from its talking well, and gen- 

 tlenefs of difpofition. No one has defcribed this before de Buffon, 

 except it fhould be Mr. Barrere's Parrot above quoted.
