6. * LoRICULUS REGULUS.

Hab. Negros (Meyer). 
A large series of specimens, obtained by Dr. Meyer in the island of Negros, apparently 
belong to this species of Lorikeet. The origin of Souancé’s type is unknown; but an 
individual obtained by Cuming in Mindanao was identified with Souancé’s species by 
Mr. G. R. Gray (J, c.). This example furnished Dr. O. Finsch' (Papag. ii. p. 710) with 
the descriptions cited. The example, however, appears to be no longer extant (Hand- 
list, no. 8182). Dr. Meyer’s Negros specimens agree well with the original description 
of L. regulus, and to that species I provisionally refer them; but until they are com- 
1 Since the above was written, Dr. O. Finsch has described the Mindanao species, Coryllis regulus (Souancé) 
apud Finsch (Papag. ii. p. 710), as distinct from the true Z. regulus, Souancé, under the title of Coryllis 
oceipitalis (Ibis, 1874, p. 208). It will therefore stand in this list as no. “ 6 bis *Zoriculus occipitalis (Finsch). 
Hab. Mindanao.”
