INTRODUCTION. 
lyiv 
Lores scarlet; general plumage white; the base of the feathers of the head and front of the neck scarlet, 
showing through and giving those parts a stained appearance ; the basal half of the inner webs of the primaries, 
the inner webs of all the other feathers of the wing, and the inner webs of the tail-feathers beautiful brimstone- 
yellow; naked space round the eye greenish blue ; irides light brown; bill white ; feet dull olive-grey. 
Inhabits Western Australia. ‘ 
Differs from L, nasicus in being of a much larger size; but the colouring being similar, I have not thought it 
necessary to figure it, 
Genos Nesror, Vag. 
Of this genus two species are known, one of which was exclusively confined to Phillip Island, and the other 
inhabits New Zealand; they are evidently the remaims of a race, all the other members of which are probably 
extinct.

The few examples of this species that may exist in captivity are all that survive, none remaining on Phillip 
Island, their native habitat. 
Genus Caryproruyxcuus, Vig, § LHorsf. 
The Calyplorhynchi ave strictly arboreal, and are evidently formed to live upon the seeds of the Banksia, 
Eucalypti, and other trees peculiar to the country they inhabit; they diversify their food by occasionally devouring 
large caterpillars ; as they mostly move about in small companies of from four to six in number they can scareely be 
considered gregarious. Their flight is rather powerful, but at the same time laboured and heayy; and their voice is 
a low erying call, totally different from the harsh screaming notes of the Cacatue, Each division of the country, 
from the north coast of the continent to Van Diemen’s Land, is inhabited by its own peculiar species. 
I have never seen a member of this genus from any other country than Australia, but I have heard that an 
extraordinary Parrot, said to be larger than any at present in our collections, inhabits New Guinea, and which, from 
the description given of it, will probably be of this form. The Calyptorhynchi lay from two to four eggs in the 
holes of trees,

369. Calyptorhynchus macrorhynchus, Gowld 2. eg, Soe =| MIDIS BSG 
Inhabits the north coast, where it represents the C. Banksii of the eastern and the C. naso of the western coasts. 
370. Calyptorhynchus naso, Gould. . ; . : . : ; i Vol. V. PL 9. 
This species, which is confined to Western Australia, is rendered conspicuous by the small size of its crest, and 
by its bill being nearly as large as that of C. macrorhynchus, while its wings are much shorter than those of that 
species, 
371. Calyptorhynchus Leachii ; ; : : = Jet ‘ - « Wol¥e Pie: 
Banksianus Australis, Less, Traité d’Orn. p. 180, Atlas, pl. 18, fig. 2, fem. 
Inhabits the south-eastern parts of the continent, and differs from all the others in its smaller size, the gibbose 
form of its bill, and in the paucity of its crest. 
372. Calyptorhynchus funereus = les d ; : P , . Wael VisFi ia 
Confined, I believe, to New South Wales, and South Australia 2 
373. Calyptorhynchus xanthonotus, Gould il => : ; ans : . Vol V. Pl.12. 
The true habitat of this species is Van Diemen’s Land, but I have lately received a specimen from Port Lincoln, 
Which proves that its range extends to South Australia. It is distinguished from C. funereus by its much smaller 
size, and by the uniformity of the yellow colouring of the tail.
