358 TKOCHILI. 



Adult male. Similar to that of C. delalandi, but with the crown 

 glitteriug violet-Uue instead of green ; the middle of the under 

 surfat-e is much dai'ker, and the lateral rectrices have much more 

 green at the base ; the bill, too, is longer (0-8 inch). 



The female resembles that sex of 0. delalandi, but may be dis- 

 tinguished by the greater extent of the green at the base of the 

 ateral rectrices.
