ileus, apparently referable to the P. erythrocephaius, 
Vigors ; 4. Pal. melanorynchus, a species apparent- 
ly hitherto confounded with the Pal. Pondicerianu3, 
of authors, and not distinguished by Vigors; 5. Pal. 
Pondicerianus ; 6. Pal. barbatus, by other writers a 
supposed variety of P. Pondicer., not distinguished 
as a species in Mr Vigors’s list ; 7. Pal. Malaccensis ; 
8. Pal. Bengalensis ; 9. Pal. cyanocephalus, the same 
as the P. flavitorquis of Vigors ; 10. Pal. columbci- 
des, first described by Mr Vigors in the Zoological 
Journal ; and Pal. inornatus, the Psittacus incarna- 
tus of authors, a bird whose station in this group, 
according to Wagler’s own account, appears very 
doubtful. The engraving expresses so correctly the 
character and plumage of the bird, as to render it 
unnecessary to give a detailed description. We may 
mention, however, that the young bird is without the 
black and rosy coloured collar which distinguishes 
the adult, in which state it is known as the Psitta- 
cus eupatria of authors. 
From the Ring-Parrakeets of Asia and Africa we 
now pass to the Long-tailed groups of South Ame- 
rica, the great metropolis of the Macrocercine Divi- 
sion ; for here are found not only the typical forms 
of the subfamily as exhibited in the large and splen- 
did Maccaws, but other species more nearly con- 
nected in habit and appearance with the birds be-
