426 Count T. Salvadori— Notes 



inclined to agree with him, On the contrary, Dr. Mivart, 

 after having examined the type, seemed not to be disposed 

 to adopt Layard's view. The home of this bird is still 

 unknown, a point which is in favour of Layard's opinion. 

 The probability that the Pygmy Parrakeet is the same as 

 H. palmarum is increased by what Dr. Forbes and Mr. 

 •Robinson write (/. c.) : — " Under Pygmy Parrakeet, in 

 Lord Derby's copy of Latham's Gen. Syn. i. pt. 2, p. 256. 

 no. 60 (1787), occurs the following note in Lord Derby's 

 handwriting : ' My specimen (marked as this species by 

 Dr. Latham) came from New Holland, and answers well to 

 his description, except in having a red band from eyes to the 

 bill and over the front.' This specimen has unfortunately 

 disappeared." 



Charmosynopsis Salvad. 



Charmosynopsis pulchella (G. R. Gray) ; Mivart, Mon. 

 Lor. pi. lv. (1896); Rothsch. & Hartert, Nov. Zool. viii. 

 p. 72 (N.W. and S.E. New Guinea) (1901). 



Charmosynopsis bella De Vis, Ann. Queensl. Mus. no. 5, 

 pp. 12, 13, pi. viii. (1900). 



Charmosyna bella Dubois, Syn. Av. p. 1055, no. 19 

 (fasc. xiv., 1903) (Wharton Range). 



I believe that Mr. Rothschild has already stated that 

 C. bella does not appear to be different from C. pulchella, 

 and I quite agree with him. 



Charmosynopsis Margarita (Tristr.) ; Mivart, Mon. Lor. 

 pi. lvi. (1896) ; Forbes & Robins. Bull. Liverp. Mus. i. no. 1, 

 p. 7 (1897) ; Rothsch. & Hartert, Nov. Zool. viii. p. 187 

 (Kulambangra) (1901). 



The types of this species, male and female, were formerly 

 in Canon Tristram's collection, but only the female is 

 now in the Liverpool Museum, the male type having been 

 lost. The Tring Museum has received a large series (males, 

 females, and immature birds) from Kulambangra; the 

 latter "have the yellow collar above and below ill-defined, 

 the purplish-black collar not developed, and purplish-black 

 edges to the red feathers " (R. fy H.).
