+Conurus molinæ+, _Scl. et Salv. Nomencl._ p. 112; _White, P. Z. S._
1882, p. 621 (Salta).
_Description._--Above green; crown brown; nape bluish; cheeks green;
wings edged with blue; tail coppery red: beneath green, breast and
sides of neck whity brown, with dark cross bars; middle of belly
dull red: whole length 9·5 inches, wing 5·0, tail 5·3. _Female_

White met with this Parrot in the dense forests of Campo Colorado near
Oran, where it is found in flocks of about twenty, "their flight being
limited, for the most part, to the clear aisles beneath the branches."
White's specimen in Sclater's collection, from which our figure (Plate
XIV.) is taken, agrees with others of the species obtained by Natterer
in Mato Grosso.
