Adult male (type). Green, underneath yellowish green ; forehead, 

 rump, and upper tail-coverts red ; vertex, occiput, nape, and upper 

 back golden yellow ; an obsolete spot in the middle of the nape, also 

 the upper back, tinged with orange ; checks, sides of the head and of 

 the neck grass-green ; a large patch on the throat orange-red, the 

 yellow colour of the base of the feathers showing through ; sides of 

 the lower back tinged with blue ; quills and tail above dark green ; 

 inner web of the quills and tail beneath blue ; tail-feathers tipped 

 with light green : " iris brown ; bill orange-red ; feet orange '* 

 {Everett). Total length 6-2 inches, wing 3-9, tail 2, bill 0-6, 

 tarsus 0*45. 



Adult female. Differs from the male in having the anterior part 

 of the cheeks and throat tinged with blue; no red patch on the 

 throat ; the golden-yellow tinge on the head and nape not so bright ; 

 the upper back, or interscapular region, green, slightly washed with 



* The plate is very unsatisfactory ; the cheeks of the male are tinged with 

 blue, while no such colour exists in the type ; tbe red colour of the 

 throat is much too dark and quite different ; the tail underneath is much too 

 deep blue, &c. 



t Coryllis occipitalis, Finsch, is founded partly on the specimen labelled 

 L. regulus from Mindanao (Cuming) (Gray, List Psitt. Brit. Mus. p. 56), 

 which turns out to be L. chrysonotus.
