This bird is about the fize of the preceding fpecies, or, if any thing, bigger. 

 It is not unlike it in the general colour of the plumage j but it wants the white 

 fpot on the head, the whole crown of which is black, and the black fpot under 

 the throat is fmaller : the colour of the upper parts of the body is alfo lighter, 

 and has lefs appearance of green. In fome birds the wing coverts are crofTed 

 with white, in others not. 



The neft is made in old trees, and chiefly in woods. The egg is of a 

 rounder fhape than that of any other of the genus. See PI. XXVII. Fig. 3.
