* From Linne's quotations it is quite evident that bis P. cristatus is the 

 Psittacus albas cristatus, Aldr. ( = Ka/catoes a huppe blanche of Button) ; but in 

 the description Lirme, by a lapsus calami, wrote crista plicatili jlava instead of 

 alba. For this reason 1 think that his name ought to bo discarded.
