 longitudinally, when the wing is clofed, by a fky-blue mark, 

 which is the edge of the wing near the moulder, continuing along 

 the edges of the greater quills, which are of a deeper colour 

 within : the two middle tail feathers are a little fhorter than the 

 others ; all of them are green, with blue tips, except the two 

 middle ones, which are of one plain colour : the legs are red.
