Coriphilus peruvianus (Miller). Aitutaki: Townsend. Townsend says it is the common pet of the natives, and will probably be found on several of the other islands of the group. There is a possi-bility that this and other species of lories have been introduced into some of the islands (of this and other groups) to which they are not originally native, through the escape of captive birds.
