582 PSITTACID^. 



The range of P. cyanopygia is restricted to the Tree Marias Islands and Western 

 Mexico, where it is found from the Sierra de Alamos in Sonora to Manzanilla Bay ^ 

 in the State of Colima. About Mazatlan and in the islands Grayson says ^ it is very 

 abundant and resident, forming flocks of considerable size. In the islands, birds were 

 very tame, but too delicate to undergo confinement for any length of time. Their 

 notes are rather feeble, and they never learnt to imitate words. 



BROTOGEEYS.

Brotogerys differs in several respects from the previous genera. The bill is rather 

 compressed ; the tomia of the maxilla undulating, but not toothed ; the cere large 

 and tumid, completely naked, with the nostrils fully exposed. There is no tufted 

 oil-gland. 



Of the eleven known species of the genus only one is found in our region, extending 

 from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec through the western lowlands of Central America 

 into Colombia. The other species are spread through continental Tropical America as 

 far south as Brazil and Bolivia.
