68 Prof, T. Salvaclovi on two neio Species of Parrot. 



Lengtli about 80 millirn. 



A single specimen from Lord Howe's Island {H.M.8. 

 'HeraUr). 



Jn possessing spurred claws to its anal legs and a median 

 sulcus on its anal tergite this species resembles C. aurantiipes 

 and C. sulminiatus [ = mimatus) of Newport; but it maybe 

 at once recognized by the punctures and small spinules on its 

 anal legs, by the short, stout, pleural process, <&c.

Cyanorhamphus subfavescens. 

 Intermediate between C Coo^/ and C. Saisseti; about thesize 

 of G. Cool'i *, and very much like it in colour, but of a more 

 yellowish tinge, especially on the underparts, and with the 

 red on the head much reduced and nearly contined to the 

 forehead ; the red spot on the ear-coverts not very conspi- 

 cuous, those on the sides of the rump much extended ; the 

 lower part of the cheek-feathers yellowish as in G. Saisseti, 

 from "which the present species differs in being stronger and 

 larger, notwithstanding its shorter tail ; the upper parts have 

 a slightly more yellowish tinge, while the underparts have 

 the yellow tinge greener ; the primaries are less blue and 

 more green, especially towards the apical half of the outer 

 webs; tail below golden-olive with no greyish tinge, the 

 tips of the tail-feathers not contrasting with the rest ; bill 

 bluish black, with the base of the maxilla silvery grey ; feet 

 dusky brown. Total length 12-7 to 11*3 inches, wing 5*8 

 to 5-7, tail 6 to 5*5, bill 0-86 to 0-73, tarsus 0-88 to 0-83.
