Adult male. Feathers of the top of the head rather elongate, 

 hairy, and mottled with black and white ; feathers of the neck 

 barred with brownish white and brown, those on the back soft and 

 somewhat downy ; all the rest of the upper parts brown, irregularly 

 dotted all over with dirty white ; nearly every feather of the 

 mantle, scapulars, lesser and median wing-coverts, outer second- 

 aries and their coverts with a large, round, subterminal metallic 

 ocellus of dark green, shading into violet exteriorly and with 

 purple and blue reflections; each spot is edged with successive 

 rings of black, brown, and dirty white ; longer up])er tail-coverts 

 and all the tail-feathers with pairs of ocelli, very similar to the 

 above, but situated one on each side of the shaft at some distance 

 from the extremity ; those spots are more oval in shape than those 

 OQ tlie wings, and are entirely green in cue light and pur])le in 



* There are now no specimens from Southern China in the Collection, and I 

 cannot find any record oi' any ever having been there.
