Adult. Very much like T. cyanogrammus and T. massena, but 

 tho green colour of the upper parts has a decidedly olive tinge ; the 

 dark purple colour of the occiput, sides of tho head, and throat more 

 conspicuous ; the red of the breast is very bright, but not so dark ; 

 the black bands across the breast are very narrow, as in T. massena ; 

 the green on the middle of the abdomen is more or less tinged with 

 dark purple. Total length 10 inches, wing 6, tail 4-1, bill 0-95, 

 tarsus - U5.

* I greatly doubt whether Dr. Finsch's specimen is renlly from New Ireland, 

 (there T. massena ia certainly found.
