There is fome difference between this bird, and that figured in 

 the PL enl. ■,- for the laft has the whole breaft and belly of a faint 

 red, or lilac, undulated with green; whereas that defcribed by 

 M, Brijfon has only a fpot of red on the breaft : however, there is 

 little doubt of their being the fame fpecies, differing only from 

 age or fex. 

 Jsa.ce. This is a native of the Havanfia, and' moft likely common to 



Mexico likewife ; but Buff on fays it is not at Guiana. He- 

 adds likewife, that the red on the belly is light, and more the co- 

 lour of lilac, waved with green ; and it likewife has a fpot of yel- 

 low on the lower part of the belly. 



M. Brijfon fays, that the fpecies he defcribes was as big as at 

 crow, and fifteen, inches long, and inhabits Mexico and Brafily 

 whereas Buffan's bird meafured only twelve inches.
