 The yellow stride on the throat-feathers of this species appear to exist in fully-plumagcd 

 males, and, wliile being a sign of adolescence in ^E. miles, accompany maturity in jE.flavostriata. 

 I add Dr. Salvadori's title, as a synonym, with some doubt, not having had an opportunity of 

 examining his type. The vEthopijfja (sp. non desc.) from Menado, in M. Verreaux's collection, 

 with the abdomen almost black, mentioned by Dr. Salvadori {I. c), cannot well be any thing else 

 than jE. Jlavostriata.

Crown, chin, throat, spot on the parotic region, and a detached stripe on each side of the 

 lower part of the neck metallic violet. Remainder of head, neck, back, and scapulars deep red, 

 becoming lighter on the breast at its lower part, where it merges into a yellow tint, which 

 colours the rest of the under parts as well as the uropygium. Tail long, tipped with whitish, 

 most apparent on the underside. Middle rectrices twice the length of the others, and, with the 

 upper tail-coverts, metallic steel-colour. M. Verreaux observes that the whitish edgings of the 

 outer rectrices distinguish this bird from all the known species of ^thopyga. There must be 

 some mistake about its habitat ; Cochin China is probably intended. Mr. Anderson has lately 

 obtained this species in Yunan.

Differs chiefly from uE. nipalniais, by having the back green instead of red, a somewhat 

 doubtful character. Mr. Gould (Birds of Asia, pt. 2, 1850) is of opinion that the green plumage 

 of the back indicates immaturity (cf. Jerd. B. Ind. i. p. 307).
