Notice on some new species of Birds. By N. A. Vicors, F'sq. 
I beg to insert the following brief characters of some interesting species 
of birds lately come to my knowledge. I hope to give a more detailed 
description of them, accompanied by figures of the more important species, 
in the next number of this Journal, together with the characters of some 
other species lately added to the collection of the Zoological Society, 
which I have not as yet had leisure to examine with accuracy. The acces- 
sion to our list of the Psittacide is of much value.
