6. Chrysophlegma pierrii. 



Chrj.soplilegma pierrui, Oitsfakf, Le Xaturaliste, 1889, pp. 44, 45. 



Adult female. Differs from tho female of C. JlavinucJia in the 

 different colour and character of the feathers of the throat and fore 

 neck. Instead of beins: olive-black at the tip and white on the 

 basal portion as in C jlavimiclia, each feather is of a rather dull 

 olive with a narrow rufous apical margin and a broad white basal 

 margin forming a spot, the olive colour appearing as a broad stripe ; 

 the sides of the neck and the chest are also paler and together with 

 the feathers of the throat have a vinous shade of colour ; the top of 

 the head is much more purple ; the upper mandible is entirely black, 

 the lower mandible yellow at the base and having a blackish tip. 

 Total length 13 inches, culmen 1-4, wing 6-15, tail 4-4, tarsus 

 007; toes (without claws) — outer anterior 0-96, outer posterior 

 1 '83, inner anterior 0*62, inner posterior 0-34. 



Male (immature?). Differs from the adult female in having the 

 malar region and tho chin pale yellow ; the bill is entirely black, 

 except at the angle of the lower mandible. Total length 13 inches, 

 culmen 1-5, wing .5"95, tail 4, tarsus 1-03. 



It may be that this is the adult male of this species, which may 

 differ from the male of C. jlavinncha in not having the yellow 

 spread over the throat, but confined to the chin and malar region, 

 and also in the colour being very much paler. Two other female 

 examples have the bill black like the male, the angle of the lower 

 mandible alone being yellow, thereby differing from the female 

 described, which has the base of the lower mandible yellow. 



Hah. Cochin China. The 2 type of this species is from Lower 

 Cochin China (Pierre) ; the c? from Mu-Xoai Mountains, Province 

 of Baria, French Cochin China (Pierre).

 Chrysophlegma wrayi, Sharpe, P. Z. S. 1888, p. 279. 



Female (type of species'). Resembles the female of C flavinucJia, 

 but differs in having the feathers of the throat pure black margined 

 (except at the tip) with white, the black expanding about midway ; 

 the bill black, yellowish at the angle of the lower mandible ; the 

 rufous bars on the wings about eqiial in width to the black inter- 

 spaces ; the dimensions considerably less, and the general coloration 

 darker, especially on the face, this being less olive : " irides red-
