COCK. PURPLE-BREASTED BLUE MANAKtN. 
throat, fore-part of the neck, and middle of 
the belly, are dark purple, with scarlet round 
spots. A blue belt passes across the breast ; 
and, immediately below it, a scarlet one. The 
sides, under the wings, the thighs, and lower 
belly, are of a fine blue. The purple feathers, 
on the under side, have their downy parts 
white ; and all the fine blue feathers have their 
down dusky or black. The legs and feet are 
blackish. The outer toes adhere a little to the 
oiniddle ones, at their bottoms." 
This bird was sent to Mr. Edwards by the 
most obliging and curious Mr. Peter Henry 
Tesdorpf, of Lubeck, in Germany; who had 
received it from Lisbon, but mentioned that it 
was a native of Brasil, and Terra Firma, in 
I South America. It is figured by Brisson, in 
his Ornithology. He calls it the Cotinga ; 
and says, that it is a native of Brasil. He 
makes his bird the same with our Female ; 
but the Cock, Edwards observes, comes nearer 
to his Cotinga.
