ACCORDING to Seba, the crest of this bird is a beautiful 

 yellow ; the rest of the plumage purple, here and there paler in 

 colour ; bill and tail red. 



Inhabits Mexico and Brazil. — M. Fermin's description is, that 

 the bird has a golden orange crest ; the rest of the body violet, like 

 an amethyst ; that it is less than a Sparrow, and the note far from 

 agreeable. Seba says, it is a most beautiful species. 



Brisson gives the length three inches and a half. The bill four 

 lines and a half; tail fifteen ; but whether he took this from Seba's 

 imperfect figure, or the real bird is not mentioned. We have never 

 seen this species.
