[Dr. Hartlaub, to whom I have sent specimens of this bird for compar- 

 ison with his/*. cyanocklora,wY\te.s me as follows concerning the relation- 

 ships of the two species: "The Psittacula you have sent me is not Ps. 

 cyanochlora Natt. (type specimen in our collection). The principal difier- 

 ence is this: in your bird the color of the tergum and uropygium has a 

 strong bluish shade. In our cyanochlora (old) the color of these parts is 

 most brilliant emerald green without the slightest bluish hue. A second 

 difference is this : in your bird the blue on the wing occupies a much 

 larger space, and for this reason is much more conspicuous and brilliant. 

 In the beautifully stuflfed specimen of our Ps. cyanochlora the blue on the 

 wing is nearly invisible. The green color of the upper parts in our bird 

 is a little more shaded with olivaceous than in yours .... There is no 

 difference in the extent of the blue under the wing." — F. M. C] 



196. Lophostrix cristata (Baud.). — A female taken June 3, 18S7, on the 

 'mountain.' 



197. Pulsatrix torquata (Daud.). — A female taken July 8, 1SS7, in the 

 lowlands. 



198. Rupornis magnirostris nattereri (ScL). — A female taken June 6, 

 1887, in the lowlands. 



[Four specimens from Santarem prove on comparison with twenty odd 

 examples of true nattereri from Matto Grosso to be clearly intermediate 

 between that form and the northern magnirostri/^. In the grayish color 

 of upper breast and throat they approach magnirostris, in the extent and
