254 ON THE GENUS LORICULUS. 



Dr. Finsch observes as follows (Papag. ii. 2, 1868, p. 695) : — 



'' CORYLLIS STIGMATA (Mull. & Schleg.). . . . 



^' Tmc^i^o^ natives of Gorontalo [von Rosenberg) . . . . 



" This very distinguishable species is a discovery of the Dutch traveller 

 Dr. Forsten, w^ho obtained it in the neighbourhood of Gorontalo and 

 Tondano, in North Celebes. Wallace collected in the south, near Macassar 

 and Menado*. 



" On its mode of life we have no report at all. An excellent woodcut 

 of this species is given by Professor Schlegel, in ' Dierentuin/ p. 70 ; a better 

 figure does not exist at present." 



The Plate is taken from two birds sent me by Dr. Meyer as male and 

 female, and now in my collection. 



The total length is about 5i inches ; but measurements of dried skins 

 are worth little.
