This is a northern form of P. fuscicollis, but differs in 
having the under-parts^ rump^ and upper tail-coverts bright 
bluish green instead of grass-green. The wing-coverts, 
secondaries^, and feathers of the back are olive-brown, strongly 
washed with verditer. The bill is stronger than in P. fusci- 
collis. Tip of lower mandible "05 inch, width of lower 
mandible I'O, width of upper mandible 1*0. Total length 
(measured in the flesh) 12"2 inches, wing 8*5, tail 4'3, 
tarsus 0*8. 
The specimen described is an old female obtained at 
Kintampo on Dec. 7, 1900. We noticed several of these 
Parrots at Kintampo, but it was next to impossible to get 
near them, since they were very shy and always flew high, 
uttering from time to time a guttural cry.

This Parrot is of local distribution, but in favoured 
localities, especially in the vicinity of water and acacia- 
trees, it is numerous, and towards evening may be seen in 
numbers on the wing.

This species, like the former, is very locally distributed. 
We observed it near Busu in December in very large flocks, 
frequenting the guinea-corn plantations, the corn being then 
nearly ripe. Our oext observation of the species was near 
Salaga in May, when we obtained a single specimen out of 
a pair.
