The collection of Parrots in the British Museum is not so extensive or complete as that of the families treated of in the preceding volumes. It was therefore particularly fortunate that for the preparation of the present volume the aid of Count Salvadori was secured, who combines with his great general experience a special acquaintance with the species Jin the Italian collections, which in some measure supplement that of the British Museum. I have great pleasure in acknowledging the conscientious care which he has bestowed on this, as on all his previous ornithological publica- tions, and the attention which he has given to the purely curatorial pari of the work. ALBERT GUNTHEB, Keeper of the Department of Zooloyy. British Museum (N. H.), Dec. 13, 1891. INTRODUCTION. In the spring of 1889 I was asked by Dr. Gunther to undertake the volume of the Catalogue containing an account of the Parrots ; and now, after more than two years and a half, my work is completed. The materials I have had to deal with, although very large, and no doubt the most extensive existing in any Museum, are much less complete than those belonging to other groups of birds ; and I do not consider them adequate either for affording a solid base to a general classification of Parrots, or for fully illustrating the different stages of many of the species. The number of specimens contained in the British Museum is 5113, belonging to 450 species, whilst 49 are not represented in the Museum ; so that the total number of species admitted in the present Catalogue is 499, of which 13 are now described for the first time *. The number of apparently good species represented by their types is 108, besides 47 others now relegated to the synonymy. Out of these 5113 specimens IIS are osteological preparations, be- longing to 53 species. Owing to the liberality of Messrs. Hume and Godman and Salvin, the Indian and Mexican species are very complete ; also the South- American series is very rich as regards the number of species : but the African, the Austro-Malayan, and especially the Australian series, are far from being complete, and often insufficient to give an idea of the different stages, of the sexual differences, or of the geographical distribution. Perhaps twice as many specimens are required, properly sexed and from reliable localities ; skeletons of each species will also be required before the Collection can be con- sidered sufficient for a complete study of Parrots. * There are also about 14 species and subspecies which I have not been able to identify ; the descriptions of these will be found in footnotes at their proper places. Vlll INTRODUCTION. It is well known to Ornithologists that the Classification of Parrots has been a very difficult problem ; and I am sorry to say that I cannot offer results which will settle the question. Those at which Mr. Garrod * arrived are far from being satisfactory. The classification I have followed in this volume agrees to a certain extent with that of Sundevallf , who divided the Parrots into Psittaci proprii and Psittaci orthognathi. As to the families, I have found that those admitted by Dr. Eeichenow in his excellent ' Conspectus Psittacorum ' i are the most natural and can be defined without much difficulty : in a few points I had to differ from him : I have withdrawn the genus Nestor from the Cacatuido>, and made it the type of a distinct family, as has been already proposed by others ; from the Cacatuidcr I have separated also the genus Dasyptilus and united it with the Psittacince (restricted), although I am not quite sure about this being the right place. Moreover, the genera Polytelis, Ptistes, Aprosmictus, and Pyrrhuhpsis, having a well- formed furcnla, have been separated by me from the Platycercince and arranged with the Palceornithinos, and the genera Pezoporus and Oeopsittacus have been again united with the Platycercince, leaving the genus Stringops only in the Stringopidce. A peculiar feature in my classification is the establishment of the family Cyclopsittacidce, which is not equivalent with Dr. Reichcnow's Micropsittacince. The under surface of the hook of the bill without file-liko sculpture in the species of the genera Neopsittacus and Cydopsittacus separates them from all the other Psittaci proprii and approaches them to the Psittaci orthofjnathi ; when the structure of their tongue is known, we shall be able to understand better their true affinities. Although I think that the families and subfamilies admitted by me are fairly definable, I must confess that my arrangement does not bring us nearer to an understanding of the mutual or phylogenetic relations of the different families. A complete study of the internal structure of the Parrots will, perhaps, throw the requisite light on the subjeet. * "On some Points in the Anatomy of the Parrots which bear on the Classification of the Suborder" (P.

I cannot finish these introductory remarks without acknowledging the great assistance I have derived from Dr. Finsch's work ' Die Papageien ' j this is one of the best ornithological works which has ever been published, and the care bestowed by Dr. Finsch on the historical part of the species cannot be too highly appreciated. Unfortunately Dr. Finsch was misled in many cases by the idea that the sexes were alike. In my opinion, also, Dr. Finsch did not pay the necessary attention to the less conspicuous differences con- nected with geographical distribution, so that he often united species which are to be recognized as distinct. I have to acknowledge also the assistance I have received from many friends, and to return them my best thanks ; I wish particu- larly to mention Mr. Salvin, Dr. Sclater, Mr. Seebohm, Prof. Newton. Canon Tristram, the Hon. Walter Rothschild, Dr. Reiehenow, Dr. Finsch, Dr. Meyer, Graf von Berlepsch, Dr. W. Blasius, Dr. Schauinsland, Dr. Stolzmann, Dr. Oustalet, and M. Salle. TOMMASO SALVADORI.

Feet permanently zygodactyle by reversion of the fourth toe, covered with rugose granular scales or plates ; bill short, extremely stout, strongly hooked or epignathous, and furnished with a cere (frequently feathered) as iu the Birds of Prey. These are the two most obvious characters which distinguish the Parrots. Other important characters are the following :— Upper mandible movable, being articulated instead of suturally joined with the fore- head ; its lower surface often with transverse or oblique ridges, producing a file-like surface on the distal palatine portion. Tongue thick and fleshy, in some families peculiarly brushy or fringed. Orbital ring frequently complete by union of the lacrymal bones with postfrontal or postorbital process. Nasal septum extensively ossified. Palate desmognathous. Dorsal vertebra opisthoccelous. Symphysis of lower jaw short and obtuse. Sternum generally fenestrated posteriorly. Furculum weak, sometimes defective or wanting Lower larynx with three pairs of muscles. Feathers with aftershafts. Spinal feather-tract on the neck well defined by lateral bare tracts and forked on the upper back. Tail- feathers twelve, only in Oreopsittacus fourteen. Oil-gland tufted, or wanting. No cajca, and gall-bladder generally wanting. Carotids, right and left both present and running deep in the vortebrarteri;il canal, or the right one deep and the left superficial, or only the left present (in Cacatna), as usual in birds. Ambiens muscle present and normal, or present and incomplete, or wanting altogether. Deep plantar tendons galline. Eggs white. Young helpless, hatched naked, but covered with down before acquiring feathers. The affinities of the Parrots seem to be with the Owls and the Birds of Prey. The Parrots principally inhabit tropical countries ; but a few species extend as far as 40° or even 42D N. lat. and 55° S. lat. Key to the Families. I.

"The scarlet lining of the under surface of the wings is marked by numerous transverse bars of dusky brown, and towards the carpal edges the feat hers are olivaceous brown, barred and mar- gined with orpimenfr-orange ; the long soft feathers underlying the secondaries are dusky grey, with faint bars of scarlet; in seme examples the nuchal collar 'is very indistinct, being simply indicated by a tingo of yellow, while iu others it is fully as conspicuous as in the adult." (Buller.) Eab, New Zealand. O NEST0EIDJ3. The bird from South Island has been separated under the name of Nestor montanus; it was distinguished as being larger and generally much brighter coloured than the bird from North Island. Sir W. Buller does not now recognize it as distinct. Owing to the want of a good series of specimens, properly sexed and from reliable localities, I have not been able to make up my mind on the subject ; for this reason I have kept the synonymy of the two forms separate. The bird from George Sound to Milford Sound, on the west coast of the South Island, has been separated under the name of Nestor occhlentalis ; this form is only known from the two original specimens obtained by Dr. Hector. The characters by which this form was distinguished from N. meridional-is are the smaller dimensions, the slender bill with the upper mandible produced to a finer point, and the absence of spots on the inner webs of the tail-feathers. The dimensions attributed to it are : — " Total length 16-5 inches, wing 10-5, tail 6, tarsus 1 ; bill, following curvature 2'25, along edge of lower mandible 1-5 " (Buller). Herr Reischek, who advocates very strongly the distinction of the Nestor from the Sounds, says that while the male is fiery red under the wings, the female is golden yellow. The validity of this species is now rejected even by Sir W. Buller; and not having myself seen a specimen of this form, I have referred it to N. meridionalis, although I have kept the synonymy separate. Nestor superbus no doubt is a yellowish-red variety of j\r. meri- dionaUs. «. Imm. (P) sk. New Zealand. Capt. Cook's Voyage. b. Ad. sk. New Zealand. Pamplin Coll. c-f. Ad. sk. New Zealand.

Very much like N. meridionalis, from which it differs principally in having a broad yellowish-white band between the grey upper breast and the dull red abdomen ; besides, the ear-coverts behind are of a bright golden yellow, the cheeks below bright red, and the tail-feathers towards the base of the inner web do not show the spots, which more or less are always present in 3". meridionalis. Total length 18 inches, wing 11-8, tail 6-5, bill 2-1, tarsus 1-2. Hah. Unknown. This bird is intermediate between N. Meridionalis and N.pro- dactus ; it resembles the first in the dimensions and in the upper parts, and the second in the underparts, especially on account of the broad yellowish-white band across the breast. Although considered by Sir W. Buller as an individual variety of N. meridionalis, I feel inclined to agree with Gould and Finsch in regarding it as a distinct species. a. Ad. sk. Massena Coll.

Hab. Norfolk Island. This bird is now extinct, and is only known from Latham's description, and from the description and figure of the head pub- lished by von Pelzeln. Latham described a specimen which was in the possession of Governor Hunter ; and von Pelzeln found a figure of this bird among the papers left by the traveller Ferdinand Bauer, who visited Norfolk Island. Besides the very curious shnpe of the bill, the absence of any bars on the tail distinguishes this species from the others. 11 Family II. LORIID^.

"This species much resembles E. riciniata, but differs in the fol- lowing particulars. The occipital violet patch is very small, and is separated from the nuchal collar by a broad band of red. Both the nuchal and prepectoral violet collars are small, aud the viclet on the abdomen does not pass upwards on to the breast, thus leaving a broad red pectoral band. The iris is red, thus differing from E. ri- ciniata, in which it is yellow; and, lastly, the latter species is of markedly smaller size, as will be seen on a comparison of the measurements. Iris red ; bill orange, yellow at the tip ; feet black. Total length 27-2-2o-o centim.. wing 15-2-13-S centim." (C'ai/I, mitrd.) Hal. Weeda Islands, to the S.E. of Halmaheira. [ have seen one of the typical specimens, lent to me by the Hon. Walter Bothschild, and I must say that although sufficiently distinct from the ordinary specimens of E. riciniata, it is scarcely different from some specimens of E. wallacei; bhe onlv difference I can perceive is in the violet colour being a little duller in E, insularis. with scarcely any tinge of blue. 28 10.

Unknown. This bird, which, according to Bonaparte, is a large and true Tricho- ylossus, was only known from Bonaparte's original and incomplete description : the type specimen is in the Museum of Paris ; but there is a second specimen in the British Museum, which has been labelled by Dr. Finsch as T. verreauxius; it agrees pretty well with Bonaparte's description; it is not symmetrical, and after some consideration I have arrived at the conclusion that most likely it is a hybrid between T. nova hollandia and Glossopsittacus concinnus. a.
