Page 81. 382. Conurus carolinensis. Carolina Paroquet. 
The record of this species made by Pike in 1807 
Arkansas River (1895 Edition by Dr. Cones, Vol. II. p. 474) is 
the earliest allusion to this species in Colorado, but as Pike does 
not mention it by name, only describes it, its proper place in 
the Colorado list is that already given it (p. 45) as introduced 
by Dr. Cones in 1877.

In the summer of 1897 Mr. W. P. Lowe saw a pair in com¬ 
pany with young and feels sure that they were reared in St. 
Charles Canon, Pueblo County. He saw a pair of old birds at 
the same place in 1896.

To the records east of the range add one taken about the 
middle of July, 1897, by Mr. Aiken, at Ramah, 011 the Divide 
south of Denver, at about 8,000 feet. The known northward 
range of this species has been greatly extended by the capture 
of a specimen July 24, 1897, in Carbon County, Wyo., a hun¬ 
dred and fifty miles northwest of Laramie City.
