occiput, whereas in both sexes of P. fasciata the occiput is uniform 

 with the crown. The breast, as Mr. Hume notices, is, in P. cler- 

 hyana, " much more of a lavender and much less of a vinaceous 

 rosy than in P. melanorhy ncha (= fasciata), the lavender or lilac in 

 P. derbyana moreover extending considerably lower down towards 

 the vent than does the vinaceous rosy in the other species." It 

 seems that nobody has noticed the very important difference in 

 the colouring of the under wing-coverts, which are vinous in 

 P. derbyana and green in P. fasciata. 



I suspect that the type specimen is still unique, and that the bird 

 mentioned by Pere David and Oustalet, and figured in the ' Oiseaux 

 de la Chine,' does not belong to this species ; certainly the dimensions 

 given by them do not agree with those of the type specimen.
