Besides the above mentioned genera, to the Cacatuide has been assigned by 
Prof. A. Milne-Edwards also the genus Lophopsittacus containing a single extinct species, but 
according to Prot. A. Newton, it seems that its place in the system is far from being satistfac- 
torily established; geographical distribution is not in favour ot Lophopsittacus belonging to the 
Cacatuide@. ee
