In complying -with our request for a portrait of 
the Carolina Parrot, the artist has added those of 
some other birds peculiar to the Southern States, 
to keep it company. A description of the Parrot is 
given on page 132. Of the other birds, the most in¬ 
teresting for its rarity, is the White-headed Dove, 
the bird at the left of the Parrot. It is about 14 in. 
long, of a dusky grayish blue, which is lighter be¬ 
low, and the wings and tail darker; the crown of 
the head is of a pure white, while the hind-part of 
the neck is beautifully variegated with purplish 
brown, with golden reflections. This exceedingly 
rare bird has thus far been found only on the Flor¬ 
ida Keys, which it reaches from the West Indies. 
The bird at the right is the well-known Mocking 
Bird, which, though found in abundance only at the 
South, rarely reaches as far north as Massachu¬ 
setts, and extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
