The Toucan of Guiana has a mon- 

 flrous hollow convex red beak, about 

 fix inches in length, and ferrated out- 

 wardly ; the noftrils are behind the 

 jaws ; the tongue is long and thin like 

 a feather, and its toes are difpofed like 

 thofe of a Parrot. Its fize is equal to 

 that of a common tame Pigeon, and its 

 fliape refembles that of a Jackdaw. The 

 head is large, and the upper mandible 

 of its beak* at the bafe, is yellow ; the 

 lower one, at its bafe, is purple ; the 

 fides of both mandibles are of a bright 

 fcarlet colour : the head is black, ex- 

 cept two white fpots near the upper 

 mandible. The feathers on every part 

 of the body are black, except the 

 throat and upper part of the bread, 

 where they are white ; and the fpace be- 

 tween the white feathers of the bread 

 and the black on the belly, where the 

 feathers are red, forming a crefcent 

 pointing upwards.
