Description. T^HE bill of this bird is grey: the plumage wholly green, ex- 

 cept a light yellow fpot on the wings, and another on the 

 tail coverts : legs grey. 



• Thefe two laft do not feem to differ fo much in the PL enl. as in Baffin's 

 defcription : both have a pale red bill ; both a red fpot on the chin, though 

 paleft in 837. In this laft too there is an afh-coloured fpot on the upper edge 

 of the wing s bat in neither is there a broad cheftnut band on the wing, as men- 

 tioned in the firft. Mem. The figure in 190 has the tail feathers even, and that 

 in 837 feem pointed at the ends.
