All these examples collected by us on the Dinder and Blue-Nile belong 
to the typically coloured P. parvirostris Sou ance, which has nothing to 
do with P. docilis (Vieill.) from Senegal, though according to O. Neumann 
the limit of the latter extends eastward as far as the White-Nile. Speci¬ 
mens collected on the Blue-Nile and Dinder totally agree with those of 
Abessinian, which are missing the brillant yellowish shade on the head. 
I frequently saw the Green Paroquet in the forests along the border 
of Dinder. They arrive usually on the high trees in the evening round our 
camp, but after perching the birds were at once lost to sight vanishing in 
the green foliage. I had opportunity to kill more examples but only one 
fimale came to hand, whilst the others were lost in the dense bushes cove¬ 
ring the ground. Count Königsegg succeeded in duing it by procuring six 
specimens on his second journey for the collection.
