Paroquet. (F. 1138), (J. 148), (-III, but

Cock: General colour bright grass-green. 
The head is red, tinged with blue, as Blan- 
ford says, like the bloom on a plum. There is 
a red patch on the shoulders, as in the case of 
No. 132. The median tail feathers are pale 
blue. 
Hen: Differs from the cock in that the 
head is duller, being of a grey rather than a 
red hue. 
Not found in N.W. F. P. or the Punjab. 
Commoner in South than in North India.
