There are of thefe greater, the middlemoft called Popiri* 
jayes, and the leffer called Pemqueets, in all above twenty 
forts. Their more remarkable Parts,are their hooked Bills, 
whereby they catch hold of Boughs, and help to raife 
themfelves up in the climbing of Trees. Their broadj 
thick, and mufcular Tongues, for which they are called 
M}W!toyba>$oi, and by which they^ are the better enabled to 
fpeak* and to rowl their meat from fide to fide udder the 
edges of their Bills : and their Feet, which, like thofe of 
the Woodpecker, have two Toes before and two behind, 
with which they bring their meat to their mouths 5 and
