ATpHIS meafures in length nine inches. The bill is pretty 

 •*■ ftrong, above an inch in length, of a reddifh colour, and a 

 very little bent towards the point: the general colour of the 

 plumage is a brownifh green : over the eyes is a white ftreak : on 

 each fide the throat a perpendicular black ftreak : and the chin, 

 fore part of the neck, and breaft, are dirty white : the tail is cunei- 

 form, with the edges inclining to green : the legs are longer than 

 ufual in this genus, and of a pale grey. 



This inhabits Cayenne. Thefe two laft birds do not fairly be- 

 long to the Roller genus 5 nor can they come more properly into 

 any other. Perhaps the manners might affift in placing them 

 with more propriety ; but we know them not, being in pofTeffion 

 only of the mere fpeciraen, without further illuftration.
