FROM WESTERN SUMATRA. 27 



splendid green plumage, has a few feathers on front and 

 chin still barred with white. Like the adult specimens from 

 India , contained in our Museum , they both have the nar- 

 row white longitudinal stripe on each of the three first 

 primaries , a character which also distinguishes this species 

 as far as I know from any other of this genus. I do 

 not find that this species ever before has been recorded 

 from Sumatra nor from any other Island of the Archipelago.
