From this bird, which Mr Vigors described in 
the first volume of the Zoological Journal, under 
Latham’s title of the Orange-winged Parrakeet, he 
afterwards formed his genus Brotogeris ; but, as we 
have previously observed, the characters upon which 
it is instituted seem to vary so little from those of 
Trichoglossus, that we have followed the example of 
Wagler, and retained it in the latter genus, in close 
association, however, with Trichoglossus palmarum, 
another Pacific species, which, as a slightly aberrant 
form, seems gradually to lead to other and stronger 
billed groups of the Psittacidte. It is a native of 
the Sandwich Islands, and not of the Brazils, as at 
first supposed by Dr Latham ; and the two indivi- 
duals which we well recollect seeing, when in Mr 
Vigors’s possession, were brought to England in the
