crest are orange^ not washed witli crimson. In the male: 'Iris red; upper 

 mandible black, lower greenish yellow; feet blackish gray.' In the

"In C. lucidus the greater part of the wing-coverts and the outer mar- 

 gins of the secondaries are crimson, giving the whole wing a crimson ap- 

 pearance, whereas in the present form, though some of the males have 

 narrow crimson-orange edges to the wing-coverts, the general color of the 

 wings is distinctly orange. 



"This form may be regarded as a partially alpine representative of 

 C. lucidus, of which it is no doubt a subspecies ; it also occurs on the coast, 

 for two fully adult male specimens were procured at Piso." (Grant.)
