48. EcLEectus INTERMEDIUS. 
Psittacodis intermedius, Bp. Consp. Gen. Av. p. 4. 
Hab. Ceram, Amboyna, and Bouru (4. R. W.). 
Remarks.—This is only a smaller and rather less brightly coloured 
form of the last species. 
49. Evectus WESTERMANNI, 
Psittacodis westermanni, Bp. Consp. Gen. Av. p.4; Proc. Zool. 
Soe. 1857, p. 226, pl. 127. 
fab. Unknown. (Probably New Guinea or Jobie Islands. ) 
Note.—The red and the green-coloured species of this genus are 
so alike in structure and habits that it is useless to separate them by 
adopting the genus Psittacodis for the latter. They are dull and 
heavy birds, frequenting low trees and the neighbourhood of villages, 
devouring plantains and papaw-fruits, and even descending to feed 
upon the red peppers, which they sometimes gorge so that they may 
be taken by hand. 
12. Dasyprinus. 
50. Dasypritus prauertu. 
Psittacus pequetii, Less. Bull. Univers. 1831, p. 241. 
Hab. New Guinea and Salwatty. 
Remarks.—A living specimen of this rare and curious bird was 
seen at Salwatty by my assistant, Mr. Allen, in the possession of a 
Bugis trader, who would not part with it. The natives knew it, but 
said it was very rare. Its affinities are doubtful, and it may perhaps 
belong to the next family. 
13. Loricutus. 
51. LoricuLus GaLGuLus. 
Psittacus galgulus, Linn.; Wagl. Mon. p. 626; Pl. Enl. 190. 
Hab. Malacca, Sumatra, and Borneo (402. 97,.). 
Remarks.—At certain seasons this exquisite little bird is very plen- 
tiful, and is captured by the natives, soon becoming tame. It sleeps 
with its head downwards, suspended by one leg. 
52. LoricuLus stiGMATUus. 
Psittacus stigmatus, Mill. & Schleg. Verh. Nat. Gesh. Ethn. p-182. 
Hab. Celebes.(Macassar and Menado) (4. R. W.). 
53. LoricuLus scLaTeERt. 
Loriculus selateri, Wall. Proc. Zool. Soe. 1862, p- 336, pl. 38. 
Hab. Sulla Islands (A. R. W.). 
Remarks.—This, one of the finest species of the genus, is only 
known from some small islands on the east side of Celebes. 
54. LoricuLus aMABILIS. 
Loriculus amabilis, Wall. Ibis, 1862, p. 349.
