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 Souance's type is unknown ; but an 

 individual obtained by Cuming in Mindanao was identified with Souance's species by 

 Mr. G. E. Gray {I. 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- 



' Since the above was written, Dr. 0. Finsch has described the Mindanao species, OoryUis regulus (Souancd) 

 apud Finsch (Papag. ii. p. 710), as distinct from the true L. regulus, Souance', under the title of CoryUis 

 occipitalis (Ibis, 1874, p. 208). It will therefore stand in this list as no. " 6 bis * Loriculus occipitalis (Finsch).
