PauTcblora inexpectata, Berl. Orn. Centralhl. 1879, p. 63 ; id. J. f. 

 dm. 1879, p. 209, 1887, p. 33-4. 



Adult male. Upper surface shining dark golden green, crown 

 and under surface glittering golden green, under tail-coverts less 

 brilliant, tail dark shining olive-green : bill black, basal third of the 

 mandible pale. Total length about 3 inches, wing 1-7 ; tail, central 

 rectrices (1-8, lateral 1 ; bill 0-8. (Typo in the collection of Graf 

 von Berlepsch described.) 



The type described above is the only specimen of this bird I have 

 seen. The colour of the crown and under surface is almost exactly 

 that of P. eucMoris, and more golden than that of P. poortmani.

Individuals appear to dift'er in dimensions, some specimens having 

 shorter tails and shorter bills than others, but I am unable to sepa- 

 rate them definitely.
