The Parrots which bear the title of Amazon 

 Parrots are natives of many parts of South Ame- 

 rica, and particularly of the regions on each side 

 of a great extent of the river J mazons: some va- 

 rieties are also found in the West-Indian islands. 

 In a domestic state they are observed to vary so 

 much in plumage as to bear many distinct names 

 according to the particular disposition of their 

 -colours.
