192 CHATTERER. 



the wing are some spots and points of pale rufous, and beneath the 

 chin some short hairs. 



Inhabits South America. At first sight might be taken for the 

 last Species, but it differs much, for it is considerably larger, and 

 the throat, breast, and part of the belly, are crimson, but not the 

 chin ; whereas, in the other, the chin and fore part of the neck only 

 are of that colour, and more deep in hue. It is said not generally 

 to inhabit Paraguay ; yet a pair was once found in a garden there ; 

 one of them was taken alive, and the other killed there in September : 

 is met with also in Brasil. 



26. -LINDO CHATTERER.— Pl. lxxxv.* 



Lindo bleu et dore, a tete bleu de Ciel, Voy. d'Azara, No. 98 ? 



LENGTH seven inches. Bill short, stout, broad at the base, 

 and black ; forehead, sides of the head, including the eye, chin, and 

 throat, deep black ; the rest fine bright verditer colour, mixed here 

 and there with black, chiefly owing to some of the feathers being- 

 dishevelled ; for, as the tips alone are blue, and the rest of the length 

 black, it is only when perfectly smooth that the plumage appears 

 uniformly blue; the quills and tail feathers black, the outer margins 

 blue, the ends wholly black ; tail even at the end, of a moderate 

 length, and the wings reach to about one-third of it ; legs dusky. 



Inhabits Cayenne, and if the same with that quoted from Azara, 

 which I am inclined to believe, also at Paraguay, where he met with 

 five specimens in May and June. A most beautiful and perfect bird 

 is in the collection of Lord Stanley, as well as one of the following, 

 supposed to be the female. 



Length six inches and a half. Bill made as in the last described, 

 very near half an inch broad at the base, and not quite so much in 

 length ; shape almost triangular, and conic ; colour black ; nostrils 

 minute, round, in a depression near the base ; plumage above fine
