Hyoid of Eos reticulata. 

 Lettering as before, except that the symphysis is marked s. 



can now confirm from the structure of its hyoid, as although the parahyal processes are 

 elongated they do not converge to form an arch but remain widely separated *. 



As to the other portions of the skeleton in the Loriidce, the hones of the limbs so 

 closely resemble those of Psittacus erithacus that we have not deemed it necessary to 

 figure them. 



The scapula of Lorins flavopalliatus differs from that of Psittacus erithacus in that it 

 broadens more postaxially and then more suddenly tapers to its apex, while the acromion is 

 relatively, as well as absolutely, shorter, and the os furculum is much more slender in Lorius. 



* For figures and descriptions of the hyoid of Nestor and Nanodes, see P. Z. S. 1S96, the Meeting of February 4th.
