The following note, in reference to this species, found among Lord Derby’s ornithological 
MSS., now in the Museum, will be of interest :—‘‘ Accidentally calling, in the Spring 
of 1825, at the shop of Mr. Tucker in the Quadrant, Regent Street, a dealer in 
curiosities, &c., he produced a Parrot which I had never seen before, or rather the 
remains of one, for it has unfortunately been preserved in the manner in which Birds 
of Paradise used frequently to be sent over, a stick having been thrust through it ; 
and consequently the legs and primary quills were wanting, and the head a good 
deal injured. I, however, bought the bird, and it has now been set up much better 
than I could have expected by Sherlock.” [Then follows a detailed description of 
the bird.] ‘‘ From the mode in which the skin was impaled, being similar to that 
practised on the Paradise Birds, it may be conjectured that the bird, when living, 
had the same habitat with them.” Dasyptilus pesqueti remained unknown to science 
till Lesson described the species in June, 1831.
