Remarks. — This new race may be separated from Sauropatis 

 chloris forsteni by its longer bill ; in the male also by the much more 

 bluish upper parts; practical obliteration of the blackish nuchal 

 band; and mostly greenish ear-coverts; m the female by the same 

 characters, though not so pronouncedly. From Sauropatis chlorif< 

 chloris it may be differentiated in the male by the brighter, much 

 more bluish upper surface; obsolescent or obsolete blackish nuchal 

 band ; and greenish or bluish auriculars ; in the female by the usually 

 more bluish upper parts; more greenish ear-coverts; less conspicu- 

 ous, because narrower and more greenish-overlaid, blackish nuchal 

 band. It may readily be distinguished from Sauropatis chloris col- 

 laris by its much more bluish upper parts, and somewhat longer bill. 



In this race the female differs from the male in the duller, much 

 more greenish or olivaceous (less bluish) superior surface; wider
