1/6 THE CHEER. 



The bill is horny brown, always pale, sometimes very much 

 so and yellowish, sometimes with a bluish grey tinge ; the 

 irides are bright reddish to orange, or yellowish brown ; the 

 legs and feet pale brownish plumbeous, or grey brown on the 

 scaled front of the tarsi and toes, and pinker or more fleshy on 

 the reticulated backs of the tarsi, sides of toes and back of the 

 feet ; the bare space round the eyes is scarlet crimson, very 

 bright in some birds, and in some dotted with pinky white in 

 one or more lines. 



The Plate is all that could be hoped for from a chromo, 

 and held at a distance of a few feet is a perfect picture of the 

 bird.
