304 BIRDS. 
Annow-TAILED PAROQUETS, 
Where the two middle quills extend far beyond the others®. 
Such is the first species known in Europe, where it was brought 
by Alexander; Psittacus Alexandri, L., Enl. 642. It is of a fine 
green, with a red collar on the neck, and a black spot under the 
throat. The third subdivision of Le Vaillant is the 
ParogqueEts, with a tail widened near the end}. 
And the fourth, that of the Common ParoaueEts, whose tail is almost 
equally cuneiform{. To these may be added, those species whose tail is 
square; the two middle quills of which are elongated, the lengthened part, 
however, being without barbs, except at the tips |]. 
Among the short and equal-tailed Paroquets, we distinguish the 
Cockatoos J. 
Marked by a crest formed of long and narrow feathers, placed on two 
* It is this division which furnished MM. Vigors and Horsfield with their genus 
Patzornis. We should place in it, 
Ps. torquatus, Briss., Enl, 551;— Ps. Alewandri,.L., Enl. 642, Vaill. 30; Edw. 292,

and Horsfield having observed in this last certain sete under the tip of the tongue, 
erected it into a genus by the name of TricHoGLossus. It would be a matter of 
some interest to ascertain if many other Paroquets do not possess this same cha- 
racter.
