with the shaft not naked and with no developed spatula, although the 
webs become narrower before the end; the tips of the two middle tail- 
feathers are blue; the lateral tail-feathers have, towards the end, less blue 
than in the adult bird.” (Salvadori.) 
“We found this beautiful species common about the foot of Monte 
Arayat, in central Luzon, though we failed to meet with it in Albay or 
Catanduanes. In north Luzon it was abundant in the maize fields, feed-

month of May in Isabella.” Whitehead, Ibis, (1899), 397.
