WHITE-FRONTED PARROT. 51? 



alulet is blue; the ridge of the wing yellow, and 

 the larger quill-feathers dusky, but blue on the 

 outer edges and red towards the base, forming a 

 red patch on each wing: the bill^and orbits are 

 whitish, and the legs and feet ash-colour. Sup- 

 posed to be a native of Guiana. 



This and the two last-described birds are, in 

 Dr. Latham's Ornithology, considered as consti- 

 tuting one and the same species, under the name 

 of the Blue-Faced Parrot^ of which the present 

 and the Brasilian Green Parrot rank as varieties. 

 In this he follows the example of Buffon ; but 

 Edwards considered them as so many distinct spe- 

 cies, and Monsr. Levaillant is loud in his declara- 

 tions of hostility against the arrangement of the 

 Count de BufFon.
