150 Zoological Society. 



1 picked up this beautiful species in the rising Museum annexed 

 to the Zoological Gardens of Amsterdam ; and as soon as he became 

 aware of the value of his bird, Mr. Westermann, as a compliment to 

 Dr. Sehlegel and myself, with a liberality of which few men even of 

 science are capable, made a present of it to the Leyden Museum ; 

 where, duly greeted by Mr. Temminck, the typical specimen is safely 

 deposited. 



To complete the monography of the genus, I add the comparative 

 phrases of the five other species, all of which have several beautiful 

 representatives m the Leyden Museum.
