PARROT. 171 



Inhabits New South Wales. I met with a fine specimen of it in 

 the collection of Thomas Wilson, Esq. 



82— LONG-BILLED PARRAKEET. 



LENGTH above twelve inches. Bill very long and curved, 

 thick half way from the base, but tapering quite to a point at the 

 tip, and under mandible truncated at the end, colour of both dusky ; 

 head and neck dull green ; sides under the eyes, chin and throat pale 

 crimson ; upper parts of the body, wings, and tail dusky ; breast 

 yellowish ; belly, thighs, and vent more or less crimson ; tail cunei- 

 form ; legs brown. 



One of these was in possession of Governor Hunter, who brought 

 it from Norfolk Island ; from the bill it seems related to the other, 

 but the tail is cuneiform in a much greater degree, without any bars 

 across it.

 space round the eye whitish ; irides deep hazel ; plumage in general 

 green, paler beneath ; chin fine scarlet ; wing coverts fine reddish- 

 colour ; tail four inches and a half long, much cuneated ; legs pale
