Ramphastos dubius, Tnd.Orn.i. 139. Gm.Lin.i. 357.

 before named. 



17— BLUE-EARED TOUCAN. 



SIZE of the Common Roller ; length twelve inches. Bill five 

 inches long, stout, and flat on the top ; on the sides channeled with 

 two indentures towards the tip, and ending in a curve ; the colour 

 chestnut, with the edge black ; under mandible wholly black, except 

 at the base, where it is pale ; plumage fine green ; eyes placed in a 

 triangular blackish space ; chin white ; behind the eyes a patch of 

 glossy blue ; legs black.

A specimen of this is in Mr. Bullock's Museum, said to have been 

 brought from Peru.
