decided bluish cast, differing thus from the Venezuelan form, B. jugu- 

 laris exsul (described by the writer in the Proceedings of the Biolog- 

 ical Society of Washington, XXX, 1917, 129), in which the whole 

 under surface is green without any bluish tinge whatever, the chin- 

 spot is small and pale, and the back and wings are more deeply and 

 extensively washed with brown. Bonda has been suggested as the 

 type-locality for typical jugularis in lieu of the deficiency in the orig- 

 inal description. 



This parrot is a very common bird throughout the whole of the low- 

 lands in the Tropical Zone, but is rarely if ever seen above 1,000 feet. 

 It prefers the open woodland and cultivated districts, and is very de- 

 structive to all fruit, especially mangoes.
