Family PsittacidyE. 



Loriculus vernalis Sparrm, 



Psittaciis vei'ualis Sparrman, Mas. Carlsoniannm, 1787, 

 t. 29. 



Generally though locally distributed throughout Siain 

 proper. Southwards it has been recorded from Trang and 

 Ban Kok Klap, but still further south it is replaced by the 

 next species. 



Loriculus galgulus Linn. 



Psittacus (jalgidus Linnaeus, Syst. Nat. Ed. x. 1758, p. 103:

 Biserat, Jalor, Patelung, and Patani. 



Psittinus incertus malaccensis Lath. 



Psittacus malaccensis Latham, Ind. Orn. i. 1790, p. 130 : 

 Malacca. 



Obtained at Biserat and Jalor in the southern parts of 

 peninsular Siam. In the R. Nat. Hist. Mus. in Stockholm 

 there is a specimen, labelled "Bangkok, Siam," but this 

 locality is most probably wrong, if the specimen has not been 

 a cage-bird. 



Palaeornis eupataria siamensis Kloss. 



PaUeornis eupataria siamensis Kloss, Journ. Nat. Hist. Soc. 

 Siam, ii. 1917, p. 219 : Lat Bua Kao, E. Siam.

 been collected at Koon Tan, Sukothai, and Sawankalok, 

 besides the type specimen which was obtained at Lat 

 Bua Kao.

Psittacus fasciatus S. Miiller, Natursyst. Anhang, 177G, 

 p. 74 : Pondichery. 



The most common Parrot in Siam. It has been recorded 

 from the northern, eastern, south-eastern, central, and south- 

 western [)arts of the country.
