Coban and Duenas. This Parrot is known as ‘ El Chocoyo/ 
At this season it frequents the patches of Maize ( Zea mais), 
which cover the hill-sides, and commits serious damages on the 
crop. It may constantly be seen flying over the plains and 
low country at all hours of the day in flocks varying from two 
birds to twenty or thirty in number. When any large number 
fly together, they usually, I may say almost always, divide them¬ 
selves into couples, though these do not preserve regular order 
like a flock of Geese. — O. S. 
73. Psittovius toyi (Gin.), 
Coban . This little Parrot extends into New Granada. I have 
seen examples from Cartagena, and it occurs in Bogota collec¬ 
tions. It is readily distinguishable from its near ally Psitt.jugu - 
laris y of the Upper Amazon, by its pale yellow under-wing coverts.
