    "verified_text": "lory, charles (1823-1889), french geologist, was born at nantes on the 30th of july 1823. he graduated _d. es sc._ in 1847; in 1852 he was appointed to the chair of geology at the university of grenoble, and in 1881 to that of the _ecole normale superieure_ in paris. he was distinguished for his researches on the geology of the french alps, being engaged on the geological survey of the departments of isere, drome and the hautes alpes, of which he prepared the maps and explanatory memoirs. he dealt with some of the disturbances in the savoy alps, describing the fan-like structures, and confirming the views of j. a. favre with regard to the overthrows, reversals and duplication of the strata. his contributions to geological literature include also descriptions of the fossils and stratigraphical divisions of the lower cretaceous and jurassic rocks of the jura. he died at grenoble on the 3rd of may 1889. lory (a word of malayan origin signifying parrot, in general use with but slight variation of form in many european languages), the name of certain birds of the order _psittaci_, mostly from the moluccas and new guinea, remarkable for their bright scarlet or crimson colouring, though also, and perhaps subsequently, applied to some others in which the plumage is chiefly green. the lories have been referred to a considerable number of genera, of which _lorius_ (the _domicella_ of some authors), _eos_ and _chalcopsittacus_ may be here particularized, while under the name of \"lorikeets\" may be comprehended such genera as _trichoglossus_, _charmosyna_, _loriculus_ and _coriphilus_. by most systematists some of these forms have been placed far apart, even in different families of _psittaci_, but a. h. garrod has shown (_proc. zool. society_, 1874, pp. 586-598, and 1876, p. 692) the many common characters they possess, which thus goes some way to justify the relationship implied by their popular designation. a full account of these birds is given in the first part of count t. salvadori's _ornitologia della papuasia e delle molucche_ (turin 1880), whilst a later classification appeared in salvadori's section of the british museum _catalogue of birds_, xx., 1891. though the name lory has often been used for the species of _eclectus_, and some other genera related thereto, modern writers would restrict its application to the birds of the genera _lorius_, _eos_, _chalcopsittacus_ and their near allies, which are often placed in a subfamily, _loriinae_, belonging to the so-called family of _trichoglossidae_ or \"brush-tongued\" parrots. garrod in his investigations on the anatomy of _psittaci_ was led not to attach much importance to the structure indicated by the epithet \"brush-tongued\" stating (_proc. zool. society_, 1874, p. 597) that it \"is only an excessive development of the papillae which are always found on the lingual surface.\" the birds of this group are very characteristic of the new guinea subregion,[1] in which occur, according to count salvadori, ten species of _lorius_, eight of _eos_ and four of _chalcopsittacus_; but none seem here to require any further notice,[2] though among them, and particularly in the genus _eos_, are included some of the most richly-coloured birds in the whole world; nor does it appear that more need be said of the lorikeets. the family is the subject of an excellent monograph by st george mivart (london, 1896). (a. n.) footnotes: [1] they extend, however, to fiji, tahiti and fanning island. [2] unless it be _oreopsittacus arfaki_, of new guinea, remarkable as the only parrot known as yet to have fourteen instead of twelve rectrices.",
