Four new genera are also described in this work for the 

 first time, namely, Hypocharmosyna, for Trichoglossus ivil- 

 helmincB, Meyer, and others ; Conuropsis, for Conurus euro- 

 linensis ; Neophema, for the group usually called Euphema ; 

 and Bolbopsittacus, with Cyclopsittacus lunulatus for its 

 type. 



The African, Austro-Malayan, and Australian series of 

 Parrots in the British Museum are stated to be " far from 

 complete, and often insufficient to give an idea of the dif- 

 ferent stages, of the sexual differences, or of the geographical 

 distribution/^ On the other hand, the Indian series, thanks 

 to Mr. Hume, and the Central American set, owing to the 

 liberality of Messrs. Salvin and Godman, are both very 

 satisfactory.

Pyrrhura emma, P. berlepschi, P. rupicola, P. rhodocephala, 

 Myopsittacus luchsi, Bolborhynchus andicola, Psittacula scla- 

 teri, Chrysotis lilacina, C. diademata, C. salvini, C. chloronota,
