690 Mr. D. A. Barmerman on a Collection of 



there is no black band across the chest ; the two central 

 pairs of tail-i'eathers are olive-green, and the remainder 

 black, the outer vebs being washed with olive. 



The immature females are similar to the immature males, 

 but have the tail-feathers entirely green. 



A specimen in the British Museum from Durban has 

 nearly assumed the plumage of the adult male, but the tail 

 is almost entirely green, only the under surface of the 

 feathers being edged with black. 



Mr. Percival's birds, from Mombasa and Malindi, as well 

 as a third specimen from Mombasa in the Museum, have the 

 throat of a much deeper scarlet than the birds from Natal, 

 and have much more black on the feathers of the tail ; they 

 are altogether richer in colour. But this is also shown in 

 a specimen obtained in Portuguese East Africa by Mr. Claude 

 Grant, so that the dark birds are not confined to the north, 

 as I had at first supposed.
