Specimens of twenty-one species of Parrots were obtained by Mr. 

 Bartlett. Most of these have a rather wider range than the confines 

 of Upper Amazonia ; but the following may be considered species 

 characteristic of the district, and not hitherto certainly known to 

 occur elsewhere : — Conurus weddelli, C. lueiani, C. roseifrons, and 

 C. souanccei.

 1867, p. 753. 



"Lower Ucayali and Chyavetas. This fine species congregates in 

 flocks of from ten to twelve, and keeps to the highest trees in the 

 forest, feeding on palm-nuts and other hard seeds." — E. B.

Chamicuros, rather more abundant than Ara macao (E. B.).
