rufous line, bounded by black, down the central 

 part: the breast is clothed with long, loose, blackish 

 feathers : those on the back of the neck black, 

 with a white streak down the middle of each shaft : 

 the under parts of the body are deep rufous : the 

 tail is brown. 



One of these birds, described by Latham as a 

 female, has the beak dusky: the crown of the head 

 blue-black : the nape light blue ; from this hang 

 six or eight long narrow feathers, the largest 

 almost the whole length of the neck : the back, 

 wings, and tail, are deep blue : the neck and under 

 parts of the body are rufous ; but the lower half 

 of the neck and the sides of it are covered with 

 loose blue feathers, hanging longer, and loose on 

 the breast : from the lower part of the back are 

 long slender feathers, which hang loose, and reach 

 the end of the tail : on the sides of the head, and 

 just above the eyes, the parts are white, passing a 

 little way in a line on each side of the neck : the 

 legs are yellow. 



This is a native of Cayenne and Surinam : the 

 specimen from whence the accompanying en- 

 graving was taken was shot in the last-mentioned 

 country by Dr. Ireland, who sent it to Mr. Lead- 

 beater, of Brewer-street, to whom I am indebted 

 for the loan of an admirable drawing, executed by 

 M. Pelletier, from the above-mentioned bird.
