Blue-faced Lorilet.

Range : North (jiueensland (Rockingham Bay, Johnston River). 



iWf. — C'/rl(jj)sitta was introduced by Reichenbach, Si/st. Av. tab. Ixxxii. 18o0, 

 where figures of a head, tail, wing, and claw are given. It seems to be a composite 

 effort, as the head most resembles that of Tn'choi/lossn.s rersico/or Lear, the 

 tail is unlike that of C diophthalma Jacquinot and Pucheran, while the wing 

 does not seem like that of any of these little parrots. It can certainly not be 

 used for this genus, and I have rejected it as indeterminable.

Xnte.—Psittacus (iterrimus Gmelin, S'/st. \(it. p. 33(1. 1788, is founded on 

 Edwards, Gleanings Xat. Hist. vii. p. 229 (1764); and though Gmelin gives as 

 habitat "In Nova Hollandia " there can be little doubt that no specimen had at that 

 time reached Enmpe from Cape York, its only Australian locality. Edwards states
