■which redness, on the sides, appears outwardly- 
down the sides of the breast and belly. The 
greater quills, or beam feathers of - the wings, 
are of a fine blue; as well as those of the 
first row of covert-feathers above them: the 
edge^ or border, of the wing, above, that falls 
on the breast, is also blue. The inside of the 
quills, and the under side of the tail ; are of a 
dark brown or blackish colour. The tips of 
the tail-feathers, on the under side, are of a 
yellowish brown. The thighs, and coverts 
beneath the tail, 'are green ; and the legs, feet, 
and claws, are black. The toes are two for- 
wards, and two backwards, as in all other 
Parrots. " I take it,'* says Edwards, to be 
as-rare a Parrot as any I have met with; it bc- 
ing .tJ»e only one I have seen of it's kind.'* 
Our ji^ure was drawn by that celebrated na- 
turalist, froni^ihc living bird.

the MoIucc?.s, and- in New Guinea, as well as 
in China; of which last countrv, he asserts, 
it onlv inhabits the most southern provinces, 
such as Quanton and Qnangsi, which are near 
the tropic, the usual limit of the climate of 
Parrots.
