ON THE GENUS LORICULUS 



"18, LoRicuLus AURANTiiFRONS, Schlegel, 



^^ Loriculus aurantiifrons , ScUegel^ Nederl. T. v. d. Dierk. iv. p. 9 (1873). 



''Hob. My sol (Hoedt) ; Rubi, New Guinea (^Meyer). 



"Finsch CPap. ii. p. 694) and Schlegel (Mus. P.-B. Rev. Psitt. p. 59) 

 grouped the species of the genus Loriculus together according to the black 

 or red colour of their bill. The arrangement given above is a geographical 

 one, as is easily to be seen by a glance at the following table. Beginning 

 with India and Ceylon, we pass to Java, Malacca, Sumatra, Banka, Borneo, 

 then step over the Sulu Islands to Luzon, Panay, Negros, Cebu, Mindanao, 

 and again over the Sangi Islands in a southerly direction to Celebes, with the 

 Togian and Sula Islands and Flores, finally from there, over Batjan and 

 Halmahera, to My sol and New Guinea — a long and instructive journey.
