This bird is only known from specimens kept in confinement. 

 Dr. Meyer has expressed the opinion that E. westermanni. is founded 

 on specimens which had lived in confinement, and whose plumage 

 was consequently arrested in development. Mr. Sharpe, agreeing 

 with Dr. Meyer's opinion, thinks that, after all, the specimens 

 called E. xvestermanni may belong to E. riedelii. I cannot offer a 

 decided opinion, but I should say they are different, as in E. wester- 

 manni the primaries and their wing-coverts show distinct outer 

 green edges, which are wanting in the males of E. riedelii.

The second specimen, although green, shows a curious mottling, 

 many feathers being brown-red with green edges.
