72 A NEW PSEPHOTUS. 
The females agree, so far as can be observed in living 
birds, perfectly with the females of dissimilis. 
Mr. Blaauw informs me that males in imperfect plu- 
mage are similar to the adult females; having moulted they 
directly become black-headed and the first parts turning 
black are the lores. 
The birds have been imported from Port Darwin, North 
Australia, in the vicinity of which place they should have 
been caught. It is very possible they occur in this north- 
western part of Arnhemland, as Psephotus chrysopterygius 
dissimilis has been collected at the Mary River in the in- 
terior of Arnhemland. The habitat of Psephotus chryso- 
pterygius is the northern part of Queensland.
