" The principal differences between this new subspecies and 

 \P.~\Jischen are the following: meridionalis has the head and nape- 

 band darker ; also the red on the head is somewhat darker ; whole 

 of the upper surface slate-grey, instead of green, as in jlseheri ; 

 under wing-coverts without green lustre ; throat without yellow 

 tinge : breast much paler ; abdomen without the greenish ochre- 

 yellow ; the whole under surface only of one colour, and not 

 of two colours ; bill somewhat shorter." (M. $■ W. )

 yellowish; secondaries blackish green, with the outer web very 

 broad, carmine-red ; tail above blackish green, with a broad greyish- 

 green band at the end ; tail below blackish grey, with a pale grey 

 tip ; tail-feathers with very narrow golden-yellow edges ; under tail-

I have seen the only specimen known, which is in the Museum 

 of Paris. This species is allied to P. occipitalis, but is very peculiar 

 n having a patch of red on the secondaries formed by separate 

 barbs.
