and this analogy we might expect to find, if, as we

tute the Tenuirostral type. In the present genus, 
we are also induced to retain the Orange-winged 
Parrot of authors (Psittacus pyrrhopterus), for which 
bird Mr Vigors instituted the genus Brotogeris, as 
we cannot observe any character of sufficient import-

of the upper mandible; but this is rendered less 
abrupt by the intervention of another species, the 
Trichoglossus palmarum, in which it is of a size in- 
termediate between that of Trick . chlorolepidotus, T. 
Swainsonii, &c., and that of Trick, pyrrhopterus. 
The first example we give of this genus is the
