TOVI PAROQUET. 



Adults (sexes alike). — Pileum and hindneck clear paris green, the 

 sides of head and neck similar but slightly lighter or more yellowish; 

 upper back and anterior scapulars oil green passing into paris green 

 or more bluish green on lower back and posterior scapulars; rump, 



O' Of these I have not seen Sittace devillei Gray, Brotogerys gustavi Berlepsch, nor B. 

 chrysosema Sclater; but these seem to be congeneric with the type of Brotogeris. 



^ Only those extralimital species which agree with B. jugularis in having an orange 

 colored chin-spot being given.
