Eace A. (H. erytlirocephalus.) 



Adult male. Head, nape, and chest dull scarlet, gradually 

 shading into bright scarlet on the breast and rest of underparts, the 

 chest and breast being separated by a more or less distinct white 

 band ; back olive-rust, shading into rust on the rump and upper 

 tail-coverts ; thighs rust-colour ; wings black, quills with Avhite 

 bases ; the outer webs of the primaries margined with white ; the 

 secondaries and coverts, except the greater primary-coverts, with 

 wavy bars and vermiculations of white ; centre pair of tail-feathers 

 chestnut, with a black terminal bar ; second and third pairs black, 

 chestnut towards the base of the outer web ; three outer pairs black, 

 with the last third of the outer web white and inner web squarely 

 tipped with the same colour : culmen and tips of bill black, rest 

 purplish blue ; orbital skin and gape purplish blue ; irides light 

 brown ; legs and feet dark fleshy purple. Total length 12-4 inches, 

 wing 5-7, tail 7, tarsus 0-6. 



An iminature male differs from the adult in having the chest, 

 especially the lower parts, and the top of the head mixed with 

 orange-brown, some of the least wing-coverts and the outer secon- 

 daries mottled with rusty bufl", and the tail-feathers pointed. 



A very young male has the whole of the underparts mixed with 

 rusty buff, and all the wing-coverts and secondaries widely barred 

 and marked with the same, only a few red feathers being apparent 

 on the top of the head, right side of the chest, and belly.
