The youug birds of the year present some differences from the adults, 

 as follows : 



6 hornot. {Zoolog. 21 us., Christiania, Norway. Petersen coll., No. 92. 

 NagasaM, Kiiisiu. December, 1880).— Differs from the old male iu hav- 

 ing many of the small upper wing-coverts green, like the back, the 

 wing-patch being mottled green and liver-brown; the yellow of the 

 fore-head and fore-neck is more of a sulphur-yellow than a lemon-yel- 

 low, and the yellow on the breast does not extend so far backwards; 

 the feathers of the tibi:e and tarsus gray, occasionally tipped with 

 green ; subapical black tail-bar less pronounced. 



$ Jan. {H. V. Benson coll., No. 250. Halodate, Yezo. October 11,1881). 

 —Similar to the adult female, but the light edges to the greater upper 

 wing-coverts much broader ; the four middle pairs of tail-feathers above 

 nearly unifor.n green, with scarcely a trace of a subapical black bar.

 In regard to this species I have only to add that Mr. H. Pryer, in a let- 

 ter dated March 10, 1887, informs me that his collector at Liu Kiu had 

 obtained specimens of " a fine new species much larger and darker than 

 siebolA\V These are evidently referable to the present species..
