A COLLECTION OF BIRD-SKINS FROM SIAM. 443 
These little Lorikeets call for no remark. They are all quite 
typical. : 
It is very doubtful whether pusillus from Java, with its 
yellow throat, should be considered a sub-species of this bird, as the 
colour of this part in Loriculws seems to be of specific value, 2. é., 
bluish in vernalis, yellow in pusillws and red in flosculws and exilis, 
nor does there seem to be any running of the one into the other as 
one would expect in geographical races.
