The olive-brownish featbers on the regio parotica blend into orange, the bluish feathers on the sinciput are mixed with some of orange colour, showing again a change from the plumage of C. ceruginosus into that of the true C. pertinax. This species and the following are not recorded by Dr. Leotaud. Mr. Taylor also did not obtain this species in Trinidad (Ibis, 1864, p. 94). 92. BROTOGERYS TUIPARA (Gmel.); Finsch, Mon. ii. p. 105. One specimen, not different from specimens from Guiana, Surinam, and Brazil. 93. PIONIAS MENSTRUUS (L.); Finsch, Mon. ii. p. 441; Loot. p. 329. A younger specimen, in the plumage described as Pionus corallinus, Bp. (vide I.e. p. 444). 94. PSITTACULA CINGULATA (Scop.); Finsch, ii. p. 677. Psittacula batavica, Leot. p. 331; Taylor, I. c. p. 94. One specimen of this species, which is apparently confined to the island of Trinidad.
