The females are above much more rufous, the rufous spots ou the crown and 

 occiput larger, tlie dark bars on the middle rectrices narrower, being of about the 

 same width as the light bars, while in K. o. rujicenter the black bars are wider than 

 the rnfous ones. The under surface is darker rufous than in the majority of our 

 females of E. o. nificentris, and the black bars on the abdomen and flanks are 

 narrower and less distinct.

Chr. plaqostis is not easih' distinguished from Chr. lucidus. The latter, how- 

 ever, seems to have a more uniformly green head and back, and greener transverse 

 bars on the underside ; it seems to inhabit New Zealand, the Chatham Islands and 

 Eastern Australia only, while Chr. jdfiijmus occurs in parts of Australia, New 

 Guinea, and the Papuan and Solomon Islands. We can hardly doubt that these two 

 forms are only subspecies, but, until we have revised the genus, we prefer to leave 

 them under binominal appellations.
