This very rare fpccies is a native of Barbary, and 
is reprefented about a third part lets than its natural 
fi'/e. In general appearance it is extremely allied 
to the Toucans. The tongue however is not feathcr- 
fhaped as in thofe birds, but thick or flelhy. The 
beautiful fpecimen here figured is in the Britilh Mu- 
feum.
