Notes on an unnamed Parrot from the Island of St. 

 Domingo; and on some other Species ok the. same 

 Family. By Philip Lutley Sclater, M.A. 



M. Auguste Salle has called my attention to the fact, that the 

 White-fronted Parrot of San Domingo, comu:only regarded as the 

 immature state of Chnjsotis leucocepJtala, is in truth quite a ditterent 

 species from that bird. It may be distinguished at once by having 

 no red on the throat and a narrower white frontal band than the true 

 leucocephald, which is from Cuba. M. Salle, who has had ample 

 opportunities of observing this bird in its natural state, is confident 

 as to its distinctness, and I have no doubt he is quite right. Under 

 these circumstances, I propose to call the San Domingan bird, which 

 has not yet received a specific designation, Chnjsotis Sallcei, — a just 

 ributc to one who has made such extensive discoveries in the
