certain, as we have two specimens marked as yonng females with lemon breasts 

 varied with orange. Moreover, there are two birds, marked as male and female, 

 the former with a lemon breast, the latter with an orange one, which are semi- 

 albinos, the back, tail, and secondaries being bright canary yellow, spotted with 

 green, and the primaries and inner secondaries creamy white. They are probably 

 brother and sister.

" Iris brown, feet ashy blue, bill slate, brownish, ashy blue.'" 

 The six fine skins collected by Meek on the Kumusi River confirm the differences 

 stated in Xoc. Zool. 1901. The new locality is very interesting, as we only knew 

 this form from Humboldt Bay and the Ambernoh River, as well as from Takar.

 (Nos. 3194, 3331, 3332, 3432, 3458.) 



" Iris dull white, feet dull dirty yellow, bill black. The iris of the females 

 is brown." 



The female difiers from the male in wanting the yellow forehead, and in 

 having the forehead, cheeks, and throat bluish green instead of grass green ; the 

 bases of the feathers of the forehead are yellowish brown, while they are stated 

 to be red in the females of L. aurantii/rons aurantiifrons, of which, however, 

 we possess only males.
