106. Lloyd on the Parrots of British Guiana. 



[Some Guiana Parrots. By C. A. Lloyd. ' Timehri,' new ser. ix. 

 p. 270.] 



Mr. C. A. Lloyd gives us some excellent field-notes on 

 the Psittacidse of British Guiana. The Indians assert that 

 Chrysotis ochrocephala " frequently breeds in company with 

 C amazonica, and that young birds of both species are often 

 taken from the same nest.'' The species of Brotogerys gene- 

 rally lay their eggs in the deserted mounds of tlie Termites. 

 Caicamelanocephala ^'nests in holes high up in the trunks of 

 trees.'' Ara ararauna breeds on the savannas, "making its 

 nest in the dead trunks of the Eta Palm {Mauritia jlexnosa)." 



Mr. Lloyd concludes with a list of the 31 Parrots of the 

 Colony and their " local habitats/' known to him.
