Lathams Synopf. Suppl. p. 63. 



New Holland, which may not unjuftly lay claim to 

 the more dignified title of the Southern Continent, 

 may be confidered as a kind of new world to the 

 Naturalift; and has already afforded feveral animals 

 unknown to every other part of the globe. To no 

 other genus, however, have fuch large acceffions of 

 new fpecies been added as to that of Pfiitacus ; of 

 which fome of the moft fuperb kinds appear to be na- 

 tives of New Holland, and fome of the Southern Iflands.
