Adult male. Lores, cheeks, aud throat black ; head and chest 

 greenish blue glossed with purple ; back greenish glossed with golden 

 bronze, shading into bluish green on the rump and upper tail- 

 coverts ; a more or less distinct white pectoral zone divides the 

 chest from the breast and rest of underparts, which are blood-red ; 

 sides grey ; thighs black ; quills black, with white bases ; primaries 

 with white margins to the outer webs ; secondaries with the outer 

 webs finely vermiculated with black and white like the rest of the 

 wing-coverts, except the greater primary-coverts which are black ; 

 middle pair of tail-feathers green glossed with blue, with a black 

 terminal band, second and third pairs the same with the inner web 

 black ; three outer pairs with the basal and middle part black, the 

 last inch white, and the remainder of the feather equally barred 

 with moderately wide black and white bars ; in older birds the 

 black bars become imperfect or obsolete towards the end of the 

 feathers, which become nearly pure white : bill dull yellow. Total 

 length 9"3 inches, wing 4'9, tail 5-1, tarsus 0-55. 



This species bears a close resemblance to T. coUaris, from which 

 it is only to bo distinguished by the bluish-purple head and chest 

 and the finer vermiculations of the wing-coverts. 



Adult female. Head, upper pares, chest, and sides grey ; a more 

 or less distinct white pectoral zone separates the chest from the 

 breast and rest of underparts ; wings as in the male, but the outer 

 webs of the secondaries and wing-coverts are black with narrow 

 wavy bars of white, which are wider and more diffuse in the most 

 adult ; centre pair of tail-feathers blackish grey with a black 

 terminal band, second and third pairs the same with the inner web 

 black, three outer pairs have the outer half and the whole tip 

 white, the rest black, and the white of the outer web as far as the 

 shaft barred with black ; in very old birds the outer web is nearly 

 pure white and the bars disappear : bill yellowish horn. Total 

 length 9-5 inches, wing 5, tail 5, tarsus 0o5.
