— Anodorhynchus martinicus Rothsch. t. c. p. 14 (1905) 

 {ex Pere Jacques Bouton, Rel. de i'etabliss. d. Francais dep. 

 1635 en Tile Martinique, pp. 71-72, 1G40). 



Upper surface and head blue, chest and rest of under 

 surface orange. 



Hab. Island of Martinique. 



Extinct. 



Apparently similar to Ara ararauaa, and possibly 

 identical. 



Ara Cuv. 



— Ara ararauna (Linn.) ; Sclat. Bull. B. O. C. iv. p. vi 

 (eggs) (1891) ; Salvad. & Festa, Boll. Mus. Tor. no. 368, 

 p. 24 (Ecuador) (1900). 



Anodorhynchus ccendcus (Gm.) ; Rothsch. Bull. B. O. C. 

 xvi. p. 15 (1905) (Jamaica !). 



1 do not quite understand why Mr. Rothschild con- 

 siders Psittacus cceruleus Gm. distinct from Ara ararauna 

 Linn., and still less why he makes it belong to the genus 

 Anodorhynchus. 



According to Mr. Clark ('Auk/ 1905, pp. 345, 316) it is 

 very doubtful whether Ara ararauna ever lived in Jamaica.
