A single example is sent by Mr. Everett ; and it seems to belong to a species distinct from 

 P. cyaniceps, and Mr. Sharpe appears to have been justified in separating it, notwithstanding the 

 doubt he expresses [1. c). Besides the lower breast and abdomen being pure white, the dimen- 

 sions of the rectrices and wings, when compared with those of an adult Luzon male, are longer ; 

 tail 4-12 as against 3-50 ; wing 3'25 as against 2*87. These, however, are larger dimensions than 

 those given by Mr. Sharpe of his type.

[Valencia, d (juv.), August: iris dark brown ; bill black; legs bluish grey. Dumaguete, 

 August.] 



The young birds (of which a series of five are sent) have their plumage, with the exception 

 of the remiges and rectrices, which are brown, washed with blue or greenish blue, marked with 

 large pale rufous spots. In one the whole of the body-plumage is so marked ; in another the 

 abdomen and throat are white ; in another several of the uniform blue dorsal feathers have come 

 in, and the breast is turning to pure rufous. The throat-plumes are the last to change to the 

 adult colouring, while full maturity is indicated by the intensity of the rufous on the throat 

 and breast.
