 Mandible a little hooked at the Tip ; the Noftrils oblong ; 

 the Head and Chin of a lovely rich blue with a fmall Bor-

 quill and covert Feathers of the Wings more pale ; the 

 Legs and Feet red, the Claws black. This Bird I faw

 give it to my Lord ; and defired me to go thither to draw 

 it, and give it a Place in the Book. 4.
