CYANORHAMPHUS SUBFLAVESCENS SALVADORI.

_Parrot from Lord Howe Island_ Phillips, Bot. Bay, p. 225 (1789).

_Cyanorhamphus subflavescens_ Salvadori, Ann. & Mag. (6) VII, p. 68

(1891).

Very similar to _C. cooki_ and _C. saisseti_ and intermediate in size.

Above more yellowish than _C. saisseti_, below more greenish, tail shorter

than in either of the latter.

This species is believed to be extinct. Last year I received some specimens

of a _Cyanorhamphus_ from an inhabitant of Lord Howe's Island, but from

subsequent letters these appear to have been collected on Norfolk or Philip

Island, and they certainly are _C. cooki_.

Habitat: Lord Howe's Island.

A pair in the British Museum appear to be the only known specimens.
