Size less than that of a Blackbird : length about 

 eight inches and a quarter: wings varied longitu- 

 dinally with pale yellow, white, and blueish-green: 

 bill and legs grey : tail cuneated, but rather short 

 than long in proportion to the bird. Native of 

 Cayenne, where, according to Buffon, it is not un- 

 common, often flying in flocks, and even settling 

 ih the midst of inhabited places. Monsr. Levail- 

 lant seems to confound this species with the Gold- 

 Winged Parrakeet of Edwards, or Psittacus chry- 

 sopterus of Linnaeus, belonging to the second 

 division of the genus.
