PSITTAC1DS. 



The specimens from Central America and Peru have heen sepa- 

 rated by Dr. Cabanis as P. rubrigidaris, but I do not find that 

 they have the red gular patch more conspicuous than thoso from 

 other localities. 



The Ecuador and Peru birds are much the largest. 



A single specimen from Bolivia, mentioned below, perhaps deserves 

 specific separation, having the feathers of the breast decidedly brown 

 with blue edges. 



Hob. From Costa Rica to Colombia, Trinidad, Guiana, Amazon 

 Valley, Ecuador, Peru, and, if the same, also Bolivia.
