The type from the Leverian Museum is in Vienna, and a specimen from Bullock's collection is in the British Museum. These are the only two specimens known, and as it is now more than a hundred years since anyone has procured a specimen, we may suppose that this is an extinct species. The specimen in Vienna, which I have recently been able to examine, has the head, back, wings, and tail deep umber-brown, the rump dark-crimson, upper tail-coverts olive, underside brownish yellow.
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.
