Sp. CiiAR. — -"This species is distinguished from Conurus euops in having 

 the wings nearly 3 ctm. longer, and by the extension of the red 

 coloring of the lower wing-coverts, also on the under row of large 

 wing-coverts, which in euops are j'ellowish olive as in most of the 

 species of Co7mrus." (Cabanis, 1. c, orig. descr., translated.) 

 Habitat. Mona, near Porto Rico. 



I have never seen this species, and the descriptions of it are 

 somewhat meagre. Dr. Gnndlach says that he w^as told the 

 birds came from San Domingo to the Ishmd of Mona, but adds 

 that this is only a supposition.
