This species, which appears to bear a near affi- 
nity to the Calyptorynchus Solandri of Vigors and 
Horsf. ( Psitlacus Solandri, Temm.), and with which 
it seems to have been confounded, is described as a 
distinct species by Wagler, in bis monograph of the 
family. The specific characters, as contrasted wfith 
those of the Solander’s Geringore, consist in the 
whiter colour of the bill, the greater proportion of 
yellow upon the head and cheeks, and the spots of 
that colour upon the lesser wing-coverts, with some 
deviation in the colour and markings of the lateral 
tail-feathers. It is also somewhat inferior in size ; in 
other respects the resemblance is remarkably close , 
but as specific distinction is well known to exist in 
other instances where the characters are not more 
prominently marked, we are justified in considering
