Adult male. General colour above green, the feathers edged with 

 paler green ; wing- coverts uniform grass-green ; bastard-wing, pri- 

 mary-coverts, and quills blackish, externally green, the primaries 

 yellowish towards the ends of the outer web ; tail-feathers green ; 

 crown of the head scarlet, mottled with subterminal spots of pale 

 cobalt on the hinder crown, occiput, and nape ; forehead and sinciput 

 hoary white, forming a broad band : a large loral spot of bright 

 scarlet ; feathers below the eye whitish ; ear-coverts brown ; cheeks 

 pale golden yellow forming a broad moustache ; throat pale whity 

 brown, the lower throat pale purplish cobalt, becoming bright cobalt 

 on the fore neck ; remainder of the under surface of the body pale 

 emerald-green ; under wing-coverts yellowish, washed with emerald- 

 green ; quills below dusky, pale yellowish along the inner edge : 

 " bill black ; legs and feet glaucous green ; iris pale buffy brown " 

 {W. Davison). Total length lO'O inches, culmeu 1*8, wing 4-7, 

 tail 2"85, tarsus 1"25. 



Adult female. Similar to the male, but with the colours a little 

 duller. Total length 10-5 inches, culmen 1-75, wing 5-1, tail 2-{), 

 tarsus 1*35. 



Young. Similar to adidts, but with all the colours duller, the 

 yellow moustache tinged with green. From a moulting specimen it 

 would appear that the feathers of the frontal band, when first 

 assumed, are yellowish, and they must therefore fade into hoary 

 white with age. The new plumes on the throat itself also seem to 

 be purplish cobalt at first, and it is probable that they soon bleach 

 to the whitish colour of the adults.
