chrysorrhous, subsp. pelingensis, Hart. Nov. Zool. v. p. 135 (1898). 
“. . . Birds from Peling and Banggai . . . are distinctly smaller. The 
- wings of the males from Peling and Banggai are generally about 110 mm, long ; 
those of the ma/es from Sula Mangoli and Sula Besi are 115-121 mm. long. 
Peling and Banggai males have the wings 109 to 114 (only one !) long, while those 
from the Sula Islands have them all 115 to 121 mm., but mostly about 120. Also, 
the tails of the latter are longer.” (Hartert). Habitat. Peling and Banggai.

*« This remarkable new species entirely agrees in the pattern of its colouration with 
P. hyogaster (Temm.) from Halmahera and Batjan, but differs in the following 
points :—On the forehead, at the base of the bill, is a mass of fleshy knobs, of 
which there is no sign in P. hyogaster. The green of the back and especially of 
the breast, is much more yellowish. The grey of the head is lighter and covers 
also the occiput. The vent and under tail-coverts are of a paler lemon yellow. 
The wing is generally a little shorter, measuring 122-132 mm.” (Hartert).

lewisii, subsp. vicinus, Hart. Nov. Zool. ii. pp. 62, 63 (1895). 
“« The purple red patch of the lower throat and upper breast is not surrounded by 
such a distinct line of purple as in P. /ewisii, this latter only being indicated. 
The purple red patch itself is not quite so large in the new subspecies. The 
round delicate grey spots on the innermost greater wing-coverts are distinctly 
larger. The grey spot on the shoulder does not reach so far towards the margin 
of the wing as in P. lewisii ; the grey throat is separated (more or less distinctly 
and broadly) from the purple red _breast-patch by a green line, which I do not 
find even indicated in P. lewisii. Iris light red.” (A. Meek). ‘* There are several 
specimens marked females by the collector, which are like the males, except that 
the purple red breast-patch is remarkably smaller, and that the lower abdomen 
is more mottled with yellow, this latter, however, being also a sign of immaturity. 
Measurements of the type—male: total length about 21 cm. ; wing, 125 mm. ; 
tail, 64 mm. ; tarsus, 19 mm.; culmen, 16mm. Of the female: wing, 123 mm. ; 
tail, 58 mm.” (Hartert). Habitat. Fergusson Island.
