 Poineroon in the inornino", waitino; for the tide to come in. A 

 large number of Parrots came over the boat and settled in the 

 mimosa troes. He shot some for identification and for food, and 

 tliej proved to be P. dufresnii — a species new to him. 



Scliomburgk also remarks [op. rit, iii, p. 724) that tliis beautiful

 only, met with it near Sururu, but it was an innumerable flock. 

 Its voice is somewhat different from the other species.

 (2) ix. p. 271) : — '' C. dufresniana is not a rare species, but it 

 is not very common, and is notable as being the only l.irge green 

 Pari-ot having the wing-speculum yellow ; found in the Colony ; 

 it is said never to learn to speak."
