Description. T E N G T H three inches and a half. The bill red : the top 

 of the head is crefted, and of a yellow colour : the reft of 

 the body and wings of the moft beautiful purple : the tail red. 



Buffon hints, that this cannot be the bird named Picicitli, fince 

 one mentioned by that name by Fernandez is otherwife defcribedj 

 viz. afh-coloured, with a black head and neck, and a white fpot 

 furrounding its large eyes, proceeding to the breaft. 



This inhabits Mexico and Brafil. 



I take it to be the Surinam Finch, defcribed by Fermin, above- 

 mentioned. His bird has a golden orange creft : the reft of 

 the body violet, like an Amethyft. He adds, that it is lefs than a 

 Sparrow, and its note far from agreeable.
