BLUE-FACED GREEN PARROT. 
In the Linnsean List of Edwards's birds, this 
Parrot is unaccountably called Ramphastos 
Dicolorus. The error, however, has been 
re6lified in the Systema Naturse : of which it 
is, now, the Psittacus Autumnalis Cyano» 
cephalus, or Blue-Headed Autumnal Par- 
rot ; being the first variety of the Autumnal 
Parrots of Linnaeus and Gmelin. It is the 
Blue-Headed Creature, of Bancroft's Guiana ; 
the Blue-Headed Crick, of BufFon ; and the 
Blue- Faced Green Parrot of Edwards and La- 
tham. 
It appears to have been originally described' 
by Edwards, whose admirable figure we have 
adopted. The account which he gives of it 
is follows-—' 
" This bird,*^ says Edwards, is of the 
Bigness of a small-sized Hen, or Pullet. The 
bill is of a horn or ash-colour ; having a spot 
of orange-colour on each side of the upper 
mandible^
