 Java. It also abounds in Sylhet, Asam, and Nepal ; and inhabits the Eajmahl 

 hills, resorting in great flocks to the neighbouring plains when the crops are 

 ripening. Buchanan Hamilton observed them " in the woods near Gorruckpore." 

 Vast numbers are obtained by the Calcutta bird- dealers, even when very young ; 

 which are brought from Tipperah and Chittagong, as I am assured. Javanese 

 specimens are undistinguishable from Indian.

 Inhabits Sumatra, Borneo, and the southern portion of the Malayan peninsula, 

 — being the only Pal^oenis there met with, and having the same range of dis- 

 tribution as Psittinus MALACCENSIS and Loeiculus GALG-ttltts ; these three 

 being the only known Parrots that inhabit that range of territory ! and in Java 

 there are only Pal. javanicus and Loeiculus veeealis, both of which are also 

 common in the Burmese countries.
