I have not been able to identify the above bird, which seems a fully adult 

 female ; it is the specimen mentioned as L. apicalis by Gray (I. c), and of which 

 Mr. Sharpe, writing to the Marquis of Tweeddale, said that it is somewhat 

 larger than L. melanopterus (= apicalis, Souance), though he wondered that it 

 had been separated. 



It is about the size of L. siquijorensis ; in colouring it comes near the 

 female of L. apicalis, but has the red of the crown not reaching the occiput ; 

 the tail above shows much blue towards the tip of the lateral feathers. I add 

 the description of the specimen, which is not in very good condition : — 



Green ; forehead and vertex red ; nape with a slight tinge of orange ; cheeks 

 and throat blue ; rump and upper tail-coverts red ; tail green above, the lateral 

 feathers blue towards the tip ; tail underneath deep blue ; bill orange. Total 

 length 6'5 inches, wing 385, tail 1 '75.
