Chalcopsittacus ater (Scop.); Mivart, Mon. Lor. pi. i. 

 fig. 1 (1896).

 Lor. pi. i. fig. 2 (1896). 



Chalcopsittacus ater bernsteini Rothsch. & Hartert, Nov. 

 Zool. viii. p. 64 (1901). 



Besides the dark-red tibiae and the edge of the forehead 

 tinged with the same colour, Rothschild and Hartert call 

 attention to another character of this species, namely, the 

 red patch on the inner web of the primaries, although it is 

 not present in every specimen. 



Chalcopsittacus insignis Oust. ; Mivart, Mon. Lor. pi. ii. 



(1896). 



This bird, which is confined to Ambernon Island, in Gccl- 

 vink Bay, has not been met with again *. 



Dr. Mivart's plate is not a very faithful representation of 

 the bird ; at least one of the types of C. bruijnii preserved 

 in the Museum of Turin differs in having the anterior and 

 upper parts of the cheeks more extensively red, the black 

 pait of the feathers of the lower parts with a purple gloss, 

 and the tail not so greenish round the tip and not so bright 

 yellow at the tip underneath ; besides, the concealed parts of 

 the tail-feathers shew on the inner web a well-defined bright 

 red patch. 



Chalcopsittacus stavorini (Less.). 



Concerning this long-lost species no additional information 

 has come to hand. 



Chalcopsittacus duyvenbodei Dubois ; Rothsch. Nov.

 Dubois, Syn. Av. p. 28, n. 356 (fasc. i. 1899) ; Sharpe, Hand- 



* Since this remark was written, Dr. Hartert has informed me that 

 the Tring Museum has received specimens of this rare bird from a 

 plumassier in London.
