Badly mounted bird, thoTigh in good state of preservation. 

 Collected in spring or early summer judging from 

 plumage wear. An adult 2 to judge by the bluish 

 intermixture on crovai and by heavy black malar mark. 



This mark is decidedly heavier and more solid than is 

 shoTWi in the plate, - as if the artist had perhaps 

 made a composit of the tv^o specimens at hand. The 

 "Cat. 2" is a male (presumably; vdth black ctovzl, 

 nearly obsolete malar spot and a small isolated 

 black spot below the auriculars. As is usual vdth 

 Tenminck ' s plates the blue as figured is much too pale 

 and too pure. The back and vdngs, however, are 

 approximately correct in color. 



Examined at Leiden, July 6, 1939.
