This specimen, according to Dr. Reichenow^s '^'Key,^' should 

 be V. nudirostris, as it is decidedly more yellow than green 

 on the head, neck, and under parts ; but instead of having the 

 grey neck-band distinct, it is only faintly indicated. I think 

 that Prof. Reichcnow must have made a slip in the descrip- 

 tion of the characters which he gives for these two birds, as 

 in the British Museum series, a broad grey neck-band is 

 accompanied by a greener tint on the head and under surface
