contain the Parrots. The Long-tailed Parrakeets ([unclear: Pl] cercinœ) of Australia are well represented, as also are the Long-tailed Parakeets (Palœornly) of India. The Caws (Arainœ) are only represented by the Patagoniæ Parrot (Conurus patagonus), which comes however in Chili, and the Carolina Parrot (Conurus carolinesis). The Lories (Loriinœ), known by their gaudy plumage and short tails, contains the smallest of the Parrots (Lorcylus exilis). The Purple-Capped Lory (Lorius domicella) is a good representative. The Honey-eating Parrots (Triko glossinœ) have a kind of brush at the end of the tongue. The Australian species are well represented, but we have also Eclectus polychlorus and Tanygnathus mülleri. The true Parrots (Psittacinœ) have short tails and the bill often toothed. They are represented by a single species; the Grey Parrot (Psittacus erythacus). The Cockatooa (Cacatuidœ) are found only in Australia and the neighbouring Islands.^*
