200 PARROT. 



the tip of each a pale buff-coloured spot ; the wing coverts are also 

 marked near the tips in the same manner; the feathers of the upper 

 part of the breast and vent are margined with buff-colour, and the 

 lower part of the breast and belly barred with the same ; tail long, 

 somewhat rounded at the end, the two middle feathers black, the 

 others the same at the base and ends, but the middle, for more than 

 one-third, fine crimson, inclining to orange outwardly, and crossed 

 with five or six black bars, about one-third of an inch in breadth, 

 somewhat irregular, especially the outer ones, in which the bars are 

 broken and mottled ; legs black. 



Inhabits New-Holland. Sir Jos. Banks first brought this with 

 him into England, on his return from his Voyage round the World.

This is a trifle smaller ; length twenty inches. Bill lead-colour ; 

 head moderately crested, black, the feathers varied with yellow; 

 throat and neck yellow ; sides of the head mixed white and black ; 

 body and wings black ; two middle tail feathers black, the others 

 with the base and ends black, the middle crimson, banded with 

 black, as in the former, and is found in the same places. 



B. — In this, neither the throat nor the neck are marked with 

 yellow, but the black plumage in general is sprinkled with dots of 

 yellow ; the tail as in the others, crimson, barred with black. 



C. — This seems a compound between the two former, being both 

 spotted on the wing, and waved with buff on the under parts ; the 

 tail above with the same bars of black, on a crimson ground, but 

 beneath buff-colour, instead of crimson.
