An attempt to arrange this gToup; the species of which had been much 
confounded. Of the eight species determined three are described as neW; 
namely : — 
P. gouldi, from Manilla; P. hurmanica, from Burmah, and P. Jloresiana, 
from FloreS; all allied to P. leucocephala ; but the first is green instead of blue, 
the second has a light grey cap, and the head of the third has a greenish 
lustre. The Javan P. capensis (L.) receives a new name, P. fraseri , and the 
Malacca race of P. gurial is distinguished as P. malaccensis. '']
