Show 588 MESSRS. SCLATER AND SALVIN ON [May 23, Rio Negro, exactly agrees with Sclater's specimen, also from Rio Negro, called C. chrysogenys in his ' Catalogue,' and with the description of Souance. We are not yet prepared to follow M. Finsch in uniting under C. pertinax the species named C. ceruginosus, C. chrysogenys, C. xantholeemus, C. ocularis, and C. chrysophrys; but his remarks on this subject (Papageien, i. p. 506) are eminently worthy of attention. Conurus xantholeemus and C. ceruginosus (so labelled), now living side by side in the Society's Gardens, are very distinct species, and certainly not to be confounded together. 222. CONURUS PERLATUS.
