XXXVIL— Notes on the Parrots. (Part II.) 

 By T. Salvadori, H.M.B.O.U. 



[Continued from p. 429.] 



The small family Cyclopsittacidce has been lately the subject 

 of active researches, and not a few species have been dis- 

 covered and described since the publication of the Psittaci 

 iu the ' Catalogue of Birds/ 



Dr. Hartert has published the following paper bearing on 

 the subject, " On some Species of the Genera Cyclopsitta 

 and Ptilonopus" (Nov. Zool. vi. p. 219, pi. iv.), while, later 

 on, the Hon. Walter Rothschild and Dr. Hartert, in their 

 " Notes on Papuan Birds/' have given a full list, with notes, 

 of the species of the genus Cyclop sit tacus (op. cit. viii. 

 pp. 72-77). 



Only two genera belong to this family. 



Neopsittacus Salvad. 



Neopsittacus musschenbroeki (Rosenb.) ; Hartert, Nov. 

 Zool. iii. p. 533 (1896) (Mount Victoria) ; Forbes & Robins. 

 Bull. Liverp. Mus. i. p. 8 (1897). 



The presence of this species in South-eastern New 

 Guinea, together with the nearly -allied next species, is very 

 strange, and I should say that the subject requires further 

 investigation.
