dufky. The bill and legs arc reddifli, and the feathers 
on the head are elongated, fo as to form a flight creft, 
in the fame manner as in the Pfittacus Porphyrocepha-

A very curious circumftance relative to this little 
bird, has been obferved by Mr. Latham in his Synop- 
fis of Birds; viz. that the tongue, which in the reft of 
the genus is blunt and fhort, is in this fpecies long, and 
terminated by a fort of pencil of fhort white briftles. 
It is a native of the Ifland of Otaheitee in the South¬ 
ern Hemifphere.
