!i :ret vYebb, Esq. F, R. S. who kept it many- 
is ears alive at his house in Surry ; and was 
. leased to send it to me, when newly dead, 
yet retaining the colour of it's eyes, &c. 
J cm which I immediately m ide the etching on 
!i le copper-plate. Mr. Webb had not been 
= iformed of it's native place, nor could I hj 
means discover it; but suppose it to be 
. s-mencaii, becavs^ all the other Maccaws are
