NOTES ON SOME EXIRA-LIMITAL PARROT NAMES. 

 By Gregory M. Mathews. 



One of the earliest books dealing with Indian Zoology, entitled 

 Indische Zoologie, by J. R. Forster, appeared in 1781, the 

 preface being dated October 12. Appended thereto was a 

 Specimen F annul ce Indicre, wherein was given a List of Indian 

 Animals in a binomial manner. The names were accompanied 

 in most instances by citations of figures and were generally 

 of Linnean usage. As many were noted from other sources 

 a binomial name was utilised for these. Under the genus 

 Psittacus I find the following species listed :
