colour, notably hooked, and angled or waved 
on it*s edees : the skin that contains the nostrils 
is of the same colour. The iris of the eye is 
of an orange-colour. A bare space, of a whitish 
skin, encompasses the eye. The base of the 
bill all round, and the sides of the head all 
round the eyes, are covered with yellow or 
orange-coloured feathers ; deeper, or redder, 
near the bill, and of a lighter yellow the farther 
they are backward from it. The middle of the 
crown of the head, the hinder part of the neck, 
the back, wings, rump, and tail, are all of a 
full grass- green colour; except the greater 
quills of the wings, and a few of their coverts, 
which are edged on their outer webs with blue. 
The fore-part of the neck, the breast, belly, 
thighs, and covert-feathers beneath the tail, are 
of a lighter and yellowish green. The lower 
part of the belly is quite yellow. The inner 
sides of the quills, and the under side of the 
tail, are of a dusky greenish colour. The legs 
and feet are formed after the usual manner, and 
are of an ash-colour."
