SPECIES OF THE GENUS LOKICULUS. 377 



The discovery of Z. tener in Duke-of-York Island extends the range of 

 this group of Parrots further to the eastward than is given in Dr. Meyer's 

 geographical table (anted, p. 234). 



It was, however, quite to be expected that Loriculus, as it occurs 

 in New Guinea, would further extend to New Britain, Duke-of-York 

 Island, and New Ireland, since, as is now well known, there can be 

 no question that all these islands are, zoologically, outUers of the Papuan 

 subregion.
