26-2 STRUCTURE AND CLASSIFICATION OF BIRDS 



In CJirysotift, on the other hand, the peroneus longus is 

 very small and only rises from the membranous continua- 

 tion of the fibula in the lower part of the leg ; it is so small 

 that it does not overlap the peroneus brevis at all, but lies 

 behind it. 



The parrots have a well-developed crop and a zonary 

 prove ntriculus. In the liver the right lobe is the larger ; 

 rarely are they subequal. The gall Madder is as a rule 

 absent ; but it is present in Cacattia and in Calopsitta, though 

 ' small and easily overlooked ' in the latter.
