as likewlfe a pretty many cn his Rump. His Bill is en- 
copxipafled up to the Eyes with a broad beauriful Scarkt 
Circle, reaching alfo down to his Throat ; This place 
in the Hen is oj a pal<;r Orange colour, wherein is the 
only ok fervable dsfierehce. The Feathers of the Tail 
(which as in all fmall Paroquets is no longer than the 
Wings ) are not to be lecn but when he flutters or 
fpreads it. They are about tw^Jnchcs long, near the 
Qoili of a Lemon-colour enchni)ig to a green ; next 
that a Scarlet for a pretty breadth, tiien a narrow Thread 
of green on fome of them; after that a black, and lad 
of all ending in a light green. It were rot an unvvor- 
thy Curiofity to examice the colours of the Feothers of 
Birds, and how the fame individual branch of the flcm 
of a Feather, as here, comes to be tinged with fuch di^ 
verficy of Colours; but that by the by. 
z. Having opened the 77;i?r<3fx and (if I may 
fo call them) by blowing into the Afpera Arteria ^ a 
large Cavity or Bladder was raifed up all along ihe^^-^ 
domen to the edges of the Os Ifchion, and fattened to 
the Gizzard, containing in it all the Guts and Gizzard, 
bur excluding the Heart and Liver. A conform riri" 
like this is obferved in all Birds, and peculiar to them, 
and mentioned by Perault in his Mechanique des Antmauxx 
The Air received by the Lungs refrelhing and carrying 
ofF the noxious ftsams from the Entrails, and h not 
confined, as in Men and Quadrupedes, to the Thorax 
only, by a Mediajiinum. Why this is fo in Birdi ma^ 
be farther enquired. 
3. The Afpera Arteria differs from that of moft other 
Animals, having not only a Larynx tt: the top theredS 
as is ufual, but another ai(b u.: its entrance into tfici 
Breaft, where ic is ditaded, amd branches it felf iT?to!: 
two. From this Struol jre,as. I have beer t old, commofllj
