" Queen Wilhelmina^s Parrot is a mountain-bird, and was 

 first seen on the Saddle Peak range near the pigmy village of 

 Wamberimi, where I was camped for five weeks. Only one 

 other example was seen there besides the two shot. On the 

 Iwaka River it was by no means scarce, though very wild, 

 and was observed in lots of two or three, but never more, 

 frequenting the middle of the larger trees. It has a slow 

 flight, and when perched its actions remind one of those of a 

 Plantain-eater (^Turacus). The only sound I heard it utter 

 was a low " guu,^^ which was undoubtedly its alarm-note.'"' —

This species appears to be quite distinct. The male differs 

 from that of P. brehmi, chiefly in having the sides of the head 

 green, with a bluish wash, ail orange gpot on each side of the 

 neck, and the feathers of the rump black with golden-yellow 

 cross-bars. 



The type of this species, an adult male, was procured in 

 the Wichmann Mountains at an elevation of 10,000 feet. 



A young male was procured in the Snow Mountains at 

 11,800 feet.
