452 Count T. Salvadori— Notes 



- Ara macao (Linn.) ; Salvad. & Festa, Boll. Mus. Tor. 

 no. 339, p. 9 (1899) ; Berl. & Hartert, Nov. Zool. ix. p. 107 

 (Orinoco Region) (1902). 



Ara macao $ x Ara militaris $ Martorelli, Atti Soc. Ital. 

 Sc. Nat. xxxv. p. 183 (1895) (in confinement). 



Hybrids between two species of Aras are, I think, mentioned 

 by Prof. Martorelli for the first time. 



Ara guadeloupensis Clark, Auk, 1905, pp. 272, 348 

 (1905); Rothsch. Bull. B. O. C. xvi. p. 15 (Domiuica) 

 (1905). 



Ara, Dutertre, Hist. Gen. des Isles des Christophie, de la 

 Guadel., de la Martin, etc. p. 294 (1654) ; Hist. gen. des 

 Antill. etc. ii. p. 247 (1G67) ; Anon., Hist. nat. et Mor. des 

 Isles Antill. p. 151 (1658), 2nd ed. p. 170 (1665) ; Labat, 

 Nouv. Voy. aux Isles de PAmer. etc. ii. p. 211 (1712) ; 

 Buff. Hist. Nat. Ois. vi. p. 181 (1774) (part.). 



Apparently similar to A. macao Linn., but smaller (tail 

 15 to 20 in. long (Labat), 18 in. long (Dutertre)), and with 

 the tail wholly red. 



Hub. Guadeloupe, Dominica (?), Martinique. 



Extinct. 



Ara chloroptera G. R. Gr. 



Ara chloroptera major Bertoni, Aves Nuevas del Paraguay, 

 p. 52 (1901) ; Arribalzaga, Ann. Mus Nac. de B. Aires, vii. 

 p. 344 (1902) { = A. chloroptera typica). 



/Ara tricolor (Bechst.) ; Forbes & Robins. Bull. Liverp. 

 Mus. i. no. 1, p. 10 (1897) ; Clark, Auk, 1905, pp. 347, 348 

 (extinct); Rothsch. Bull. B. O. C. xvi. p. 15 (1905) (extinct). 

 It appears that in Cuba this bird survived until very 

 recently. Two specimens are in the British Museum and 

 one in the Liverpool Museum. This Ara, or another allied 

 species, seems to have lived in Jamaica and Haiti. 



Ara erythrocephala Rothsch. Bull. B. O. C. xvi. p. 14 

 (1905) (ex Gosse, B. Jamaica, pp. 261, 262). 



Head red, rest of body bright green. Wings and greater
