the quills, and the under fide of the tail, 
are of a dark-brown or blackifh colour : 
the tips of the tail-feathers on the under 
fide are of a yellowifh-brown ; the thighs 
and coverts beneath the tail green : the 
legs, feet, and claws, are black : the toes 
are two forwards and two backwards, as 
in all other Parrots. 
This bird is now living, [A. D. 1754] 
and is the property of Mrs. Kennon, Mid- 
wife to her' Royal Highnefs the Princefs of 
Wales. I take it to be as rare a Parrot as 
any I have met with, it being the only one 
I have feen of its kind. I believe it hath 
never till now been either figured or de- 
fcribed.

*The Red-breafted Parrakeet. 
T Have taken two third parts of the na- 
tural meafure of this bird, in order to 
reduce it to a fize proper for the copper- 
plate 5 fo that the vilible fuperficial appear- 
ance of the figure before you, in proportion 
to my drawing of the fize of nature, is as 
4 to 9 ; but, if the folid quantity of a figure 
of this reduced fize be compared with that 
of its natural bignefs, it will be as 8 to 27. 
The bill is of a yellowifh- white, with a 
very narrow fkin over the upper part, in 
which the noftrils are placed : the upper
