This species was originally based by Mr. Vigors on a pair 

 of birds living in the Society's Gardens, to which they were 

 presented by Lady Glengall in 1832 (see P. Z. S. 1833, p. 63, 

 and Reji. of Council, 1833, p. 13). In 1834 a pair was also received 

 by Lord Derby at Knowsley (see P. Z. S. 1834, p. 41). They bred 

 in both places ; and iu subsequent years our pair and their descen- 

 dants bred frequently in the Society's Gardens.
