Two New Genera of Parrots for Australia. 



By Gregory M. Mathews, F.R.S.E. 



Australian ornithologists are indebted to Dr. Wm. Macgillivray, 

 R.A.O.U., for being instrumental in adding these new birds to our 

 Ust. They are not the only new birds brought to light from this 

 locality, but are important enough to be figured. Perhaps the 

 others will be so in the near future. It is very extraordinary that 

 these common Parrots should have escaped observation till last 

 year.
