Family 79.— TRICHOGLOSSID^. (6 Genera, 57 Species.) 



General Distribution. 



The Trichoglossidse, or Brush-tongued Paroquets, including the 

 Lories, are exclusively confined to the Australian region, where 

 they extend from Celebes to the Marquesas Islands, and south 

 to Tasmania. The genus Nanodes (= Lathamvs) has been 

 shown by Professor Garrod to differ from Trichoglossus in the 

 position of the carotid arteries. I therefore make it a distinct 

 genus but do not consider that it should be placed in another 

 family. The genera here admitted are as follows : — 



Trichoglossus (29 sp.), ranges over the whole Austro-Malay 

 and Australian sub-regions, and to the Society Islands ; (^o*^) 

 Nanodes (1 sp.), Australia and Tasmania; Charmosi/na (1 sp.). 

 New Guinea (Plate X. Vol. I. p. 414) ; Ilos (9 sp.), Bouru and 

 Sanguir Island north of Celebes, to the Solomon Islands, and in 

 Puynipet Island to the north-east of New Ireland; (^o^a 2040) Lorius 

 (13 sp.), Bouru and the Solomon Islands ; (^^^^ ^043^ CoripUlus (4 

 sp.), Samoa, Tonga, Society and Marquesas Islands. 



Family 80.— CONURID^. (7 Genera, 79 Species.) 



General Distribution. 



The Conuridse, which consist of the Macaws and their allies, 

 are wholly confined to America, ranging from the Straits of 

 Magellan to South Carolina and Nebraska, with Cuba and 

 Jamaica. Professor Garrod places Pijrrhura (which has generally
