Very much like P. aubryanus, from which it differs very little ; 

 the red colour on the forehead seems less extended, aud the black on 

 the feathers of the upper parts not so shaqdy defined from the green 

 edges ; the bill is decidedly smaller : " iris orange : naked skin 

 round the eyes and cere yellowish grey ; maxilla horn-whitish, the 

 tip and the mandible dark " (Fischer). Total length about 11 inches, 

 wing 8, tail 3-5, bill 1-2, tarsus 07. 



Female (adult ?). Wants the red on the forehead, or has scarcely 

 a trace of it. 



Bab. Massai-Land. 



I have seen three specimens of this species lately sent to England 

 by Mr. Jackson.
