Adult male. Crass-green, uuderparts lighter; sinciput bright 

 red; vertex golden yellow ; at the base of the nape a spot, or in 

 skins a transverse band, golden orange; rump and upper tail- 

 coverts red; sides of the rump light blue; a large patch on the 

 throat orange-red. with the bases of feathers yellow ; quills black. 



* The plate quoted is very unsatisfactory ; the golden-yellow vertex, which 

 ought to be sharply defined, is scarcely distinct, the spot on the lower nape is 

 too red. and should be orange and less distinct, and the red patch on the throat 

 ought to be much larger. 



t Dr. Finsch, in his Coryllis occipitalis, besides a specimen of Loriculus 

 chrysonotus, as before stated, includes also a second, labelled in the British 

 Museum as /.. regulus, from unknown locality. 1 have been able to ascertain 



that this is the type, or a typical Bj imen, ol L. reg tins, Souanoe° of the Massena 



Collection, received through the dealer Purzudakv of Paris.
