* Mr. G. E. Gray was the first to recognize that the Javan Loriculus, Psit- 

 tacus vernalis, Kuhl (nee Sparrm.), was distinct from the Indian one, and 

 gaye it the name of L. pusillus. Curiously enough, the specimen which he 

 attributed to it in his List, with no locality on the label, is, no doubt, a 

 young L. galgulus from Malacca ! I cannot account for Finseh stating that it 

 is like an adult male in the Leyden Museum !
