has referred it (fom. cit. p. 715). Yet it is not impossible that a Mindanao example of 
L. hartlaubi may have been Sonnerat’s type; and this view is maintained by Mr. G. R. 
Gray in the Hand-list. But the title of melanopterus, Scop., cannot be used, as it 
applies to two distinct species ; therefore that of hartlaubi, O. Finsch, will have, under 
any circumstances, to be adopted. 
What species Dr. v. Martens (tom. cit. p. 21, no, 116) intended to indicate under the 
title of Loriculus melanopterus (Scop.), it is impossible to determine. ‘‘ Kehle blau, ein 
Flecken im Nacken gelb,” does not apply to any Loriculus that I am acquainted with.

Loriculus chrysonotus, Sclater, Ibis, 1872, p. 823, pl. xi., “ Zebu.” 
Hab. Zebu (Meyer). 
The example referred to by Dr. O. Finsch (Papag. ii. p. 711) of Z. regulus in the 
British Museum, with nape and back golden, belongs probably to this species. 
The following eleven species of Parrots have been described or else enumerated as 
inhabitants of the Philippines. 
(1) Petite Perruche de isle de Lugon, premiére espéce, Sonn. op. cit. p. 76, pl. 38. 
' fig. inf. 
Psittacus pumilus, Scopoli, tom. cit. p. 87, no. 26 (1786), ex Sonn. 
Coryllis galgulus (Linn.), O. Finsch, op. cit. ii. p. 699. 
So far as is at present known, this species is restricted to Malacca, Sumatra, and 
Borneo. 
(2) Petite Perruche de Visle de Lugon, seconde espéce, Sonn. op. cit. p. 76, pl. 38, 
fig. sup. 
Psittacus leucophthalmus, Scopoli, tom. cit. p. 87, no. 25 (1786), ex Sonn. ; v. Martens, 
J. f. O. 1866, p. 22, no, 119, “ Luzon.” 
Psittacus simplex, Kuhl, Conspectus Psittac. p. 66, no. 111 (1820), ex Sonn. 
Psittacula passerina (Linn.), O. Finsch, tom. cit. p. 648. 
Dr. O. Finsch has, with some doubt, identified this Parrot with the well-known South- 
American species. The learned Doctor, however, separates it as a variety characterized 
by possessing a blue nuchal spot. Sonnerat is silent as to such a character. Scopoli 
does not add it, nor does Kuhl. Latham alone mentions a variety of P. capensis, Gm. 
(=P. passerinus, Linn., av. juv.), as being represented in one of Lady Impey’s drawings, 
with a blue spot on the lower part of the neck,—the freak of some imaginative 
native artist? (conf. Lath. Gen. Hist. ii. 274, no. 229, var. B). 
_Mr.G.R. Gray (List of Psittacide in Brit. Mus. p. 91, no. 26) records P. leucophthalmus, 
Scop., as being contained in the British Museum, and adds Luzon as its origin. Dr. v. 
Martens (J. c.) gives Cuming as the collector of this example. According to the Hand-
