71. Chloroneiyes yucatanensis, sp. 239. 



Coban. Seems to agree with Mexican specimens. 



Fam. PSITTACIDiE. 



72. CoNURUs HOLOCHLORus, Sclater, Ann. and Mag. N. H. 

 (1859), ser. 3, vol. iv. p. 224. 



Coban and Duefias. This Parrot is known as 'El Chocoyo.' 

 At this season it frequents the patches of Maize {Zea mais), 

 which cover the hill-sides, and commits serious damages on the 

 crop. It may constantly be seen flying over the plains and 

 low country at all hours of the day in flocks varying from two 

 birds to twenty or thirty in number. When any large number 

 fly together, they usually, I may say almost always, divide them- 

 selves into couples, though these do not preserve regular order 

 like a flock of Geese. — 0. S. 



73. PsiTTOvius Tovi (Gm.). 



Coban. This little Parrot extends into New Granada. I have 

 seen examples from Cartagena, and it occurs in Bogota collec- 

 tions. It is readily distinguishable from its near ally Psitt.jugu- 

 laris, of the Upper Amazon, by its pale yellow under-wing coverts.

Having observed a second specimen of this Chrysotis in the 

 Bremen collection, I have been induced to describe it under the 

 MS. name given to it by Dr. Hartlaub. — P. L. S.
