Psittacus Eupatria. Lin. Lath. 



Perruche de Gingi. PL Enl, 23g. 



Perruche a Epaulettes rouge. Levaill. pi. 73. 



Length twenty inches : whole bird above deep 

 grass-green, except a lengthened red spot towards 

 the bend of the wing, and the two middle tail- 

 feathers, which are slightly tinged with blue : under 

 parts of the bird pale green with a yellowish mix- 

 ture : bill and legs red : the tail in this species is 

 very long, and sharply cuneated or rather arrow^ 

 shaped, the two middle feathers much exceeding 

 the rest in length : said to be a native of Gingi 

 in the East-Indies. Dr. Latham observes that the 

 eyes are surrounded by a naked reddish skin, and 

 this circumstance forms a part of the Linnaean 

 specific character of the bird. Monsr. Levaillant 

 however does not mention this particular, nor does 

 any such appearance occur in his elegant plate of 

 this species. f . : . .
