Mr. E. Blyth on the Birds of India. 
Genus Psittinus, Blyth, J. A. S. xi. p. 189*. 
11. Ps. malaccensis : Psittacus malaccensis, Latham (Swain- 
son’s Zool. Ill. ser. 1, pi. 154). 
Syn. Vide Gray, Brit. Mus. Cat. Psittacidae (1859), p. 91 
= Psittacula incerta (Shaw). 
Hab. Sumatra, Borneo, and the Southern Malayan peninsula, 
as the last, but extending* northward, as somewhat of a rarity, 
to the southern Tenasserim provinces (Tavoy and Mergui). Its 
manners in captivity, and doubtless its wild.habits, are altogether 
those of a Palceornis , to which genus it is most closely akin. 
Subfam. Eclectin^e. 
Genus Loriculus, Blyth, J. A. S. xix. p. 236. 
(a. Black-billed.) 
12. L. galgulus : Psittacus galgulus, L. (Edwards, B. pi. 293. 
f.i.) 
Syn. Vide Gray, Brit. Mus. Cat. Psittacidse (1859), p. 54. 
Hab. Sumatra, Borneo, and southern part of Malayan penin¬ 
sula. 
(b. Coral-billed.) 
13. L. yernalis : Psittacus vernalis , Sparrm. (Sw. Zool. Ill. 
ser. 2, pi. 11). 
Syn. Vide Gray, Brit. Mus. Cat. Psittacidse (1859), p. 54. 
Hab . All the hilly parts of India, from the sub-Himalayan 
region to the extreme south, but not Ceylon; also the countries 
bordering the eastern shores of the Bay of Bengal, as far south 
as the Tenasserim provinces, where it is very abundant. It is 
likewise found in Java according to Dr. S. Muller, and a speci¬ 
men received from Java is in the Calcutta Museum j*; but is 
replaced in the Malayan Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo by 
L. galgulus. The great supply to the Calcutta bird-dealers 
comes chiefly from the Rajmahal hills. 
* Barely separable from Palceornis, despite the short tail. I have now 
tame living specimens. 
t One from the “ Indian Archipelago ” is also noted in Gray’s ‘ Cata¬ 
logue.’
