 plain, and two next on each side blackish at the base, the fourth and 

 fifth red within at the bottom, the outmost the same mixed with blue;

Inhabits Havannah, and probably common to Mexico, but 

 Buffon says, it is not found in Guiana. He adds, that the red on 

 the belly is the colour of lilac, waved with green, and a yellow spot 

 on the lower part of it. Authors differ in respect to the size ; M. 

 Brisson's said to be as large as a Crow, and fifteen inches long, but 

 that of BufFon measured only twelve inches.
