T E N G T H three inches and a half. The bill red : the top
of the head is crefted, and of a yellow colour : the reft of
the body and wings of the moft beautiful purple: the tail red.
Buffon hints, that this cannot be the bird named Picicitli, fince
one mentioned by that name by Fernandez is otherwife deferibedj
•viz. alh-coloured, with a black head and neck, and a white fpot
furrounding its large eyes, proceeding to the breaft.
This inhabits Mexico and Brafil.
I take it to be the Surinam Finch, deferibed by Fermin, above-
mentioned. His bird has a golden orange creft: the reft of
the body violet, like an Amethyfi. He adds, that it is lefs than a
Sparrow, and its note far from agreeable.

* Fernandez deferibes another bird by the name of Miacatototl-, faying
merely that it is a fmall one, and is found fitting on the heads of maize • that it
has a palilh belly ; the reft of the body black; on the wing fome white feathers ;
and under the tail cinereous : that it lives in cold places, and is good food.
