Inhabits India, and is, I believe, the female to the following,
which I faw among fome drawings from that place, viz. Size the
fame. Bill black: irides brown: plumage above, green: the
head and back fpotted with black : over each eye a yellow line
arifing at the bafe of the bill, and a fecond fpringing from the
fame, diverging below the eye, but not touching i t : all the under
parts yellow : quills, tail, and legs, black.
With this was another, fuppofed to be the female, correfpond-
ing with Linnaus'% bird. In this the bill was pale : the vent inclined
to white: quills dufky, with yellow edges, and pale towards
the tips, the outer one excepted : lefler wing coverts
black, edged with green; the greater ones black, edged with
pale brown: tail black, tipped with white : legs pale.
Both thefe came from the Cafe of Good Hope : the firft fang
prettily ; the laft was filent.
