such large flocks as L. galgulus. We have also examined a male 

 shot in November 1921, at Naihoot, Langsuen, by Mr. Williamson's 

 collector. " Iris yellowish-white ; bill red ; feet deep yellow. Length 

 135 mm.". 



Palaeornis* longicauda (Bodd.). 



PsUtacus longicmda, Bodd., Tabl. PI. End. 1783, p. 53 (Malacca). 



It is probable that the Malay Green-headed Parroquet will be 

 found in the southern districts of the Patani province. It has been 

 recorded from Ulu Selama in North Perak (Bonhote, P. Z. S. 1901, 

 p. 76), and is therefore inserted in our " key." 



178. Palaeornis cyanocephalus rosa (Bodd.). 



PsUtacus rosa, Bodd., Tabl. PI. Enl. 1783, p. 53 (India). 

 Palaeornis cyanocephalus, A., p. 118 (Tavoy) ; C, ii, p. 145. 

 Palaeornis rosa, G., p. 150 (Ratbiui and Petchaburi); K., p. 90 

 (Koh Lak). 



Koh Lak is the southernmost known limit of the eastern form 

 of the Blossom-headed Parroquet, which is also found in Southern 

 Annam. 



179- Palaeornis alexandri, fasciata (P. L. S. Mull). 



PsUtacus fasciatus, P L. S. Miill., Sysf.. Nat. Suppl. p. 74 of 1776. 

 Palaeornis melanorhychus, A., p. I'JO (Tavoy to Mergui). 

 Palaeornis fasciata, C, ii, p. 143 (Tena.ssei'im) ; G., p. 150 (Rat- 



buii and Petchaburi) ; Herbert, Journ. Nat. Hist. Siam, i, 1914,

9. imm. Koh Pra Tang, Takuapah Inlet, W. Peninsular Siam. 

 17 February, 1919. (No. 4081). 



" Iris whitish ; bill black ; feet dirty greenish white." 



Total length, 272; wing 145; tail 90 (imp.); tarsus 15; bill 

 from gape 22 mm. 



The specimen, which is very young has a narrow black line 

 from eye to eye across the forehead, which is lavender in front. 



♦Though Oberholser is doubtless correct in his contentions, we can- 

 not bring ourselves to use Conurus as the name for this genus of parrot. 

 ConurvJi is too well known for a large Neotropical genus.
