34. PiiTLLORNis FLAViPENNis, n. sp. (Plate LXXVII. fig. 1, in orig.) 



[Cebu, male, April. Iris hazel, bill lead-grey, yellowish along the margin, legs and feet 

 greenish leaden.] 



The colours of the soft parts of the female are noted by Mr. Everett to be like those of the 

 male, excepting that the yellowish commissure is not mentioned. 



Male. Grass-green above, pale verditer-green underneath. Lores, chin, throat, and thigh- 

 coverts yellowish green. Primaries brown on their inner webs, tinged with dark green along the 

 shaft ; outer webs of first three primaries green tinged with yellow ; lower half of the outer webs 

 of remaining primaries margined with yellow. Inner margin of all the quills, seen from below, 

 yellow. The female like the male, but the colouring not altogether so bright. 



Wing 3-75, tail 3'50, tarsus O'SO, culmeu 0'87. 



If the four examples sent by Mr. Everett have the sex correctly noted (of which there is little 

 doubt), and if the males are in mature plumage (and there are no indications of immaturity), the 

 sexes in this species do not essentially difi"er. There is no trace of any blue in the plumage of 

 the males.

breast. In the female the middle pair are throughout blue, while the laterals only exhibit a 



vinaceous tinge at their apices.
