582 PSITTACID. 
The range of P. cyanopygia is restricted to the Tres Marias Islands and Western 
Mexico, where it is found from the Sierra de Alamos in Sonora to Manzanilla Bay ® 
in the State cf Colima. About Mazatlan and in the islands Grayson says? it is very 
abundant and resident, forming flocks of considerable size. In the islands, birds were 
very tame, but too delicate to undergo confinement for any length of time. Their 
notes are rather feeble, and they never learnt to imitate words. 
BROTOGERYS.

Lrotogerys differs in several respects from the previous genera. The bill is rather 
compressed; the tomia of the maxilla undulating, but not toothed; the cere large 
and tumid, completely naked, with the nostrils fully exposed. There is no tufted 
oil-gland. 
Of the eleven known species of the genus only one is found in our region, extending 
from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec through the western lowlands of Central America 
into Colombia. The other species are spread through continental Tropical America as 
far south as Brazil and Bolivia.
