LESSEH DUSKY PARROT, 
Red and Blue Parrot of Aldrovandus, which 
is a variety of our Crick. The wings and 
tail are of a fine violet. The head, and the 
borders of the face, are of the same colour ; 
which is waved on the throat, and melted into 
the white and lilac : a small red streak edges 
the front. All the upper side of the body is 
brown, obscurely tinged with violet; the un- 
der side of the body is richly clouded with 
blue violet, and purple violet ; and me lower 
coverts of the tail are a rose-ccdonr, which 
also tinges exteriorly the edges of the outer 
quills of the tail, through their first half."
