Mr. P. L. Sclater on recently described Parrots. 411 



The identity of F. melanotis with F. figulus, assumed by 

 most authors^ seems to me not beyond doubt ; for Swainson 

 describes (according to Reichenbach^s translation) the top of 

 the head as blackish brown.

Evidently a lapsus calami, perhaps for F. longirostris.

XXXIV. Remarks on the recently desa^ibed Parrots of the 

 genus Chrysotis. By P. L. Sclater, M.A., F.R.S. 



The American Parrots of the genus Chrysotis have always 

 been an attractive group to me ; and I have examined a large 

 number of specimens of them, both alive in zoological gar- 

 dens, and stuffed in various museums which I have visited. 

 Having lately had the opportunity of studying several typical 

 examples of some of the more recently described species of 

 the group, I have a few notes to submit on them. 



In his great work on Parrots, Dr. Finsch recognizes 32 

 species of the genus Chrysotis. In our ' Nomeiiclator ' Mr.
