The immature female taken by Dr. Smith at Nan, April 15, is 

 about half grown. Above it is serpentine green, the wings and tail 

 brighter, without the red forehead of the adult; the black crown 

 band is barely indicated by darker centers to the feathers of the 

 region, making it somewhat duskier than the rest of the head; the 

 supraorbital and auricular yellow spots have appeared; the black of 

 the sides of the head of the adult is replaced by dusky; the throat is 

 light green-yellow; the jugulum grayish olive with a greenish wash; 

 remaining underparts reed yellow, the sides and flanks streaked with 

 yellowish olive. A slightly older bird collected by Dr. Smith at Pak 

 Chong, May 14, has a few red feathers appearing on the jugulum; the 

 throat is coming in a deeper yellow, and the chest and abdomen are 

 becoming paler. A young male collected by Dr. W. L. Abbott at 

 Prahmon, Trang, April 6, is of about the same age as Dr. Smith's 

 Nan female; the former is quite different above, being light bice 

 green and paler yellow below. 



A number of forms are recognized, including the following: 



Xantholaema haemacephala delica (Parrot) (Sumatra). 

 Xantholaema haemacephala haemacephala (Mtiller) (Philippine Islands). 

 Xantholaema haemacephala lutea (Lesson) (Ceylon and India generally to 

 western Bengal).
