330 Prof. T. Salvador! on the 



NiNOX UNDULATA^ Ramsay, sp. nov.^ ibid. 



It seems to me that the description of N. undulata applies 

 well to specimens of N, humeralis (Hombr. et Jacq.) ; if I 

 remember rightly. Canon Tristram, to whom I showed in 

 London a specimen of N. humeralis, told me that he had 

 received the same bird from Port Moresby. 



PsiTTACI. 



Ten species of Parrots are mentioned by Mr. Ramsay. 



Nasiterna pusilla, Ramsay, /. c. ii. p. 105, iii. p. 251. 

 I think it will be necessary to compare this species with 

 specimens of my N. beccarli. 



Aprosmictus chloropterus, Ramsay, nov. sp., /. c. p. 251. 



I consider this a good species, allied to Aprosmiclus chlo- 

 ropterus, D^Alb. et Salvad., from the Fly River. Mr. Sharpe 

 has described the same bird under the name Aprosmictus 

 broadbenti ('Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist.' April 1879). 



LoRius iiYPCENOCHROus, Gray, apud Ramsay, /. c. p. 254. 



Lorius hijpoenochrous, var. yuglielmi, I. c. p. 106 (1878). 



This is Lorius erythrothorav , Salvad. Ann. Mns. Civ. Gen. 

 X. p. 32, xiv. p. 39, a species perfectly distinct from L. hypoe- 

 nochrous. 



Chalcopsitta[cus] chloropterus, Salvad. et Ramsay, /. c. 

 p. 254. 



I have already given up this species (Ann. IMus. Civ. 

 Gen. xiv. p. 37), which Avas founded rather on an individual 

 variety than on a young specimen. 



CuCULIDjE. 



Nine species are included in Mr. Ramsay's list. 



Lamprococcyx minutillus, Gould, Ramsay, /. c. p. 255. 



I should say, from Ramsay's description, that the speci- 

 mens mentioned by him under this head must belong to L. 

 russata, Gould, of which I have seen many specimens from 

 Hall Bay, exactly like others from Cape York. I have 

 united L. russata to L. pacilurus (Gray) (Prodr. Orn. Pap. 

 et Molucc. pt. vi. Cuculidce, sp. 14).
