I believe this bird to be the same as Eucephala smaragdinea, but liesitate to 

 unite them from the evidence of the specimens before me. That the specimen 

 described ill ' The Ibis ' (1881, p. fiOfi), and afterwards figured hy Sharpe as 

 Tiiiioliu lerchi, belongs to E. smnragdiiica I am certain, having now compared it 

 with the type of the latter; but I am not .so confident that the first deter- 

 mination was correct.
