might fail to aftord Edwards any sufficient idea 
of the bird before^ him, notwithstanding their 
descriptions, we may rely on the fidelity of his 
own figure and description ; which have not, 
even since, been compieatly equalled. The 
several subsequent accounts, however, cer- 
tainly yield some additional information. 
" This Parroquet," Edwards tells us, <Ms of 
that kind, which has a long and pointed tail 
and Bufton, who classes the Parroquecs, makes 
this bird his Third Species ; witli a long and 
unequal tail." 
Lady Walpole informed Edwards, that the 
bird came from the West Indies : " in which," 
says he, " I have since been farther confirmed, 
by seeing six or more of the self-same species^ 
in a cage together, at the house of the Right 
Honourable Sir Charles Wager, then First 
Lord of the Admiralty, \yhose Lady told me> 
they were brought from tlie West Indies." 
This Yellow-Faced Parroquet, Edwards re- 
lates, was a brisk, lively bird ; exei-cislng it's 
voice much, but expressing few words intelli- 
gibly.
