Red, including upper surface of: tail ; head red ; a purple collar round the neck ; no red spot on the 

 occiput in the adult. 



Habitat. Islands immediately north of Salwatty. 



Specimens of "Wallace's Lory have been seen in, or obtained from, the islands of Waigiou, 

 Guebe, Batanta, and a small island near Mysol. 



This species differs from all the others of the genus which we have described in that 

 it has a purple collar round the neck ; besides this collar, the abdomen is also purple, 

 and there is much purple, with red, on the under tail-coverts. The longest scapulars are 

 also dull purple. The tail above is reddish brown, with purplish reflections in some 

 lights ; the tail-feathers beneath are red at the base of the inner web, and yellowish with 

 golden reflections towards the tip. The wings are red generally, but the primaries are black, 

 save that the base of the inner web is red. The secondaries and greater fling-coverts are red
