A. — Length nine inches. Bill reddish ; plumage mostly green ; 

 outer edge of the wing crimson ; rump pale blue ; legs brown ; tail

 the outer edge of the wings, but the under wing coverts also may be 

 crimson ; but the bird being fixed in a case, prevented our ascertain- 

 ing this circumstance.
