6 Mr. E. Blyth on the Birds of India. 



Genus Psittinus, Blyth, J. A. S. xi. p. 189*. 



11. Ps. MALACCENSis : Psittttcus malacceusis, Latham (Swain- 

 son's Zool. 111. ser. 1, pi. 154). 



Syn. Vide Gray, Brit. Mus. Cat. Psittacidae (1859), p. 91 

 = Psittacula incerta (Shaw). 



Hah. Sumatra, Borneo, and the Southern Malayan peninsula, 

 as the last, but extending northward, as somewhat of a rarity, 

 to the southern Tenasserim provinces (Tavoy and Mergui). Its 

 manners in captivity, and doubtless its wild habits, are altogether 

 those of a Palceornis, to which genus it is most closely akin. 



Subfam. Eclectin^e. 



Genus Loriculus, Blyth, J. A. S. xix. p. 336. 



{a. Black-billed.) 



13. L. GALGULUs : Psittacus galgulus, L. (Edwards, B. pi. 393. 

 f.l.) 



Syn. Vide Gray, Brit. Mus. Cat. Psittacidse (1859), p. 54. 



Hah. Sumatra, Borneo, and southern part of Malayan penin- 

 sula, 



{b. Coral-billed.) 



13. L. VERNALis : Psittacus vernalis, Sparrm. (Sw. Zool. 111. 

 ser. 3, pi. 11). 



Syn. Vide Gray, Brit. Mus. Cat. Psittacidse (1859), p. 54. 



Hah. All the hilly parts of India, from the sub-Himalayan 

 region to the extreme south, but not Ceylon ; also the countries 

 bordering the eastern shores of the Bay of Bengal, as far south 

 as the Tenasserim provinces, where it is very abundant. It is 

 likewise found in Java according to Dr. S. Miiller, and a speci- 

 men received from Java is in the Calcutta Museumf; but is 

 replaced in the Malayan Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo by 

 L. galgulus. The great supply to the Calcutta bird-dealers 

 comes chiefly from the Bajmahal hills. 



* Barely separable from Palceornis, despite the short tail. I have now 

 tame living specimens. 



t One from the " Indian Archipelago " is also noted in Gray's ' Cata- 

 logue.'
