pale yellow ; underparts similar to the adult, but the dark 

 zigzag markings less black, fewer and broader, and having a 

 washed-out appearance. 



Another young male (Klang, Salangore, May 15th), also in 

 the Hume Collection, has the irregular transverse dusky 

 markings extending on to the chin and throat, but they are 

 very faint ; the top of the head red, and the irregular yellow 

 markings on the back showing clearly, and even in the 

 nestling plumage the feathers of the forehead and crown are 

 sometimes tipped with red. As the bird becomes older the 

 red on the forehead and crown increases, and in a specimen 

 obtained upon August 16th (Jahore, W. Davison) the red is 

 beginning to appear on the cheeks. In this example the 

 upper back is greener, the feathers with brighter yellow 

 tips and having a spotted appearance. The length measure- 

 ment of this specimen is 9*82 inches, and the soft parts are 

 given as follows : — " Upper mandible black ; lower mandible 

 pale blue ; iris brown ; legs and feet pale bluish green, claws 

 bluish horny " ( W. Davison) .

 spots, the scapulars being tipped with dull lake-red ; wing-

 quills blackish brown, the primaries having the outer webs

 daries dull lake-red, the inner webs spotted or deeply 

 notched with brownish white ; shafts of primaries brown, 

 those of the secondaries black ; feathers of the rump tipped
