Cae Bird is figur’d of its natural Bignefs; for fhape of Body it is like a Robin 
“  Red-breaft; the Bill is flender, of a middling Length, bowed downward a very 
little towards the Point, which is fharp, of a dufky or horn-colour above, the lower _ 
Mandible lighter, both a little Yellow next the Head; the Crown, Sides, and hinder 
Parts of the Head, are cover’d as it were with a Cap of Black Feathers, having a

Part of the Bird, is of an equal blue-green Colour; the Quills are femething dark- 
er than the other Parts, efpecially the greater or outer Quills, which lofe their

es Bird in Figure and Magnitude, is equal to the above defcrib’d, or if 
there be any Difference on comparing the Birds themfelves, I thought this 
rather the leaft; the Shape of the Bill is the fame with the above; it is of a light 
Afh-colour or White, in the upper Part lighteft at the Bafe; the lower Mandible is 
of a darker Afh-colour; the Top and Sides of the Head are of a light Blue-colour; 
the Throat, juft under the Bill, is White, for a {mall Space; the Neck, whole 
Body, and Tail, are of a very yellowifh Green; the Wing on the Shoulder, or Part 
next the Head, hath a roundifh Spot of Blue; the Covert Feathers and Quills, ex- 
cept the Greater, are Yellow-green, like the Body; the greater Quills are of a dark 
Brown, or Black Colour; the under Side of the ‘fail is dufky; the Legs and Feet 
of a faint yellow Colour, ©) ; Mad ; 
Thefe two Birds are preferved in the Cabinet of his Grace the Duke of Richmond; 
they are Natives of Surmam. They being fo like in Shape and Colour, I am in- 
clin’d to believe them Male and Female of the fame Species; but it is hard to de- 
termine any thing abfolutely, unlefs one had been in the Country, where they are 
Natives, and made particular Obfervations of them. Thefe Birds may be ranged 
with flender-bill’d Small Birds, whofe Tails are all of one Colour. I believe thefe 
Birds have not before been figur’d or defcrib’d.
