 zone of greenish grey ; bare skin about eye turquoise blue ; bill with a 

 narrow band at the extreme base deep black, succeeded by a much 

 broader band, which on the mandible and one-fourth of the maxilla is 

 azure blue, the remainder, as also the ctilmen and tips of both maxilla 

 and mandible, is sulphur yellow, body of the l^ill, maxilla and mandible 

 black; feet glaucous blue.
