As will be seen from the above lists, thefe are no females 

 of L. aurantiifrons in either the British Museum or the 

 Tring Museum, and the birds catalogued by Count Salvadori 

 are all referable to L. a. meehi. 



" This tiny Love-bird was Scarce, and was always observed 

 in pairs. If one was shot the other took flight ; but it 

 was by no means a wild bird, and the pair could always 

 be secured. '^—C.^.^.G^.
