 Although Latham says that he described this Parraquet from 

 the drawings of Mr. Lambert, and apparently from a specimen in 

 the collection of General Davies, he makes use of Watling's note, 

 which is as follows : " The two centre tail feathers are entirely 

 green, the two next have a little yellow on the tips or points, 

 which increases in all the tail feathers, until the two outer ones 

 on each side are perfectly yellow ; from the centre or two green 

 feathers, the five others on each side regularly decrease in 

 length. This is a rare bird in N.S. Wales, is of short flight,
