blue : the head is covered with a kind of hood, like black 



velvet, compofed of ftrait, fhort, jagged, and very foft feathers ■, 



thefe are thinly placed on the neck, on the fore part, and almoft

black, but the feathers as ufual in other birds : fome of the wing 



coverts and quills light grey. Buffon mentions, that the toes 



feemed to have been placed naturally all forwards, for there was a 



membrane between the hind toe and the inner one, and it had 



been forced behind by the perfon who put it into attitude.
