 characters of P. salvadorii may be mentioned the red upper 

 mandible, the purple-blae of the underparts, uniform in 

 colour with the crown, and the absence of the pale brownish- 

 buff" band bordering the hinder part of the head and cheeks, 

 so distinctly shown in the figures given by Fraser, P. Z. S.
