THE GOLDEN GREEN PARRAKEET. 147 



Swainsonii, in honour of that distinguished natu- 

 ralist himself, as a species of Parrakeet has been 

 already dedicated to Levaillant, and is figured by 

 us in Plate 25. 



Mr Swainson informs us, that " this bird was the 

 only specimen of its kind in a large collection made 

 by C. Edmonston, Esq. in Demerara. Another I have 

 since seen in the possession of A. MacLeay, Esq. ; 

 it comes nearest the Orange-winged Parrakeet of 

 Latham, but his description will not admit of them 

 being referred to the same species.
