T ESS than the Brent Goofe. Bill dufky : head and neck 

 pale grey : cheeks white : breaft, belly, and back, bright 

 ferruginous, marked with darker femicircular lines : wing coverts 

 white : fecond quills green ; prime ones black : vent orange, 

 crolTed with a band of black : tail and legs black. 



The female differs in having no white on the cheeks, and the 

 colour in general being lefs bright. One of thefe in the Leverian

 if not the fame with the above : the length about twenty inches. 

 It inhabits the mountains of the Cape, and is called Bergenten by 

 the Dutch. The above fpecies feems much allied to the laft.

 of the wing white : quills filky green for half their length, the reft black.
