Adult. Very much like P. souancei, but with the hoary edges of 

 the feathers of the throat and breast much broader, approaching in 

 that respect P. rupicola (Tsch.) ; the ear-coverts are of a brighter 

 green with an olive tinge, and the blue colour of the primaries purer 

 and brighter ; besides, the green colour of the upper parts has a 

 yellower tinge, the hidden brown-red patch on the abdomen is 

 more distinct and apparently constant, and the bill perhaps darker. 

 Total length 9-6 inches, wing 5-2 to 4-9, tail 4-7 to 4-3, bill 0-7, 

 tarsus - 45.

Besides the type specimen, I have examined the one mentioned 

 by Graf v. Berlepsch, and I find that the distinctive characters 

 pointed out by him are exactly the same in both.
