lower back and rump olive-green, more vivid on the upper 

 tailcoverts ; wings blackish brown ; primaries on the outer 

 web very narrowly margined with pale yellowish olive, 

 secondaries and all the coverts more distinctly margined 

 externally with greenish yellow-olive; tail blackish brown, the 

 two central tailfeathers washed with olive-green, the remainder 

 only with a faint greenish margin on the outer web ; ear- 

 coverts, chin and throat dull brown, with faint whitish 

 margins, most distinct on the chin, remaining under parts 

 whitish, with dark shaftstripes, broadest on breast and 

 flanks, very narrow on the middle of vent and under tail- 

 coverts ; under wingcoverts whitish , washed with pale 

 isabelline. — Bill and feet black, the same as a narrow 

 ring round the eye and the space between the eye and 

 gape (in the living bird »dark green": Schadler). 



Another old female (Cat. n°. 3) agrees with the fore- 

 going specimen, but the margins of the wings and their 

 coverts are lighter, more yellowish white.

A very distinct species, easily recognizable by the uni- 

 form white undersurface in the male; the female resem- 

 bles that of Sph. viridis Vieill. {timoriensis Schl.) from Timor, 

 but has its rump and upper tailcoverts, as well as the 

 two central tailfeathers, distinct olive-green ; the ground- 

 colour of the under parts is whitish (not yellowish as in 

 viridis). 



The three above described specimens are collected by 

 Mr. K. Schadler on the Island of Wetter (north of Timor) 

 in February and March 1898.
