surface of the wings and tail is black. The beak, 
which is uncommonly large and strong, is of a deep 
black, as are also the legs and feet, which are ex¬ 
tremely stout. The orbits or naked spaces round 
the eyes are of a deep yellow, as is also the skin 
round tjie base of the lower mandible. The general 
proportions of the bird are nearly the same as those 
of the Psittacus Ararauna, and it is probably a na¬ 
tive of the same parts of South America. The spe¬ 
cimen now described is perhaps the only one known 
to exist at present in Europe.
