1864.] PARROTS OF THE MALAYAN REGION. 285 
Green; head above deep orange, more intense on the forehead ; 
cheeks and throat pale orange ; breast with a band of blue, succeeded 
by one of brownish orange, as in C. desmaresti ; sides of the breast 
blue ; under wing-coverts blue-green ; belly yellowish green ; bill 
black ; feet greenish olive. 
Total length 8 inches; wings 4i. 
Hab. Mysol (4. R. W.). 
Remarks.—I have named this bird after Mr. Edward Blyth, who 
first called my attention to its distinctness from the allied species. 
In the British Museum Collection there is a specimen from Salwatty 
which I had overlooked, but which possesses a small blue cheek-spot, 
although in other respects it resembles this bird, Six specimens 
from Mysol were all exactly alike ; and more than twenty specimens 
of P. desmaresti, of both sexes, collected by myself in New Guinea 
were equally constant. The Salwatty specimen is therefore very 
interesting, as showing one of the links by which these now very di- 
stinet species have been formerly connected together.
