2. Bolbopsittacus inter niedius. (Plate XIII.) 



Similar to the male of B. lunulatus, from which it differs in 

 having the face of a deeper blue with a purple tinge, and a blue 

 collar on the lower part of the hind neck brighter and like that of 

 B. mindanensis ; the underparts arc of a brighter and deeper green 

 than either in B. lunulatus or in B. mindanensis'. bill black; feet 

 greenish. Total length 5-8 inches, wing 3 -< J, tail 1'3, bill U-75, 

 tarsus - 4. 



Hah. Philippine Islands, but the exact locality unknown. 



As B. lunulatus and B. mindanensis seem to be respectively 

 confined to Luzon and Mindanao, it is very likely that the present 

 bird lives in some of the intermediate islands.
