mage is in general of a fine glofiy green ; but the head, neck, 

 and under parts, are of a changeable blue : the vent white : quills 

 and tail dulky, edged with green : legs yellow : toes very long, 

 and (lender. That defcribed by Brijfon differs from the above in 

 having the bare part of the forehead and legs red ; and is faid to 

 inhabit the Eaft Indies as well as America. 

 Place and I have feen many of thefe birds, both from Cayenne and the 



Weft India IJlands, all of which anfwered to our defcription, ex- 

 cept one, which had the upper parts of the plumage blue green, 

 tinged with brown: the crown of the head brown: beneath 

 white ; a little mottled with black in the middle of the belly, 

 and greatly fo acrofs the lower part of the neck, juft above the 

 bread : chin quite white: legs brown. This feems by defcrip- 

 tion to differ greatly ; but on comparifon of fize, fhape of bill, 

 and legs, I am inclined to fuppofe it of a different fex only, if not 

 a young bird. 



Thefe have been brought alive to England ; but not fo tame as 

 to be at large. Such as have come under our inflection were 

 content to live on rice, bread, lettuce, and other fuch food, and 

 feemed to bear confinement tolerably well.
