"Iris dark brown; bill and feet black." (No. 5212 A. S. Meek Coll.) As we 

 have said before, the S has the entire upper surface rufous chestnut, while in the 

 males it is dull greenish olive. E. I. loriae is very. closely allied to E. I. leucostictus, 

 from which it seems to differ only by the black throat and guttural patch being 

 more or less connected by black feathers with white edges ; moreover, the black 

 guttural patch has more or less round white spots to the tips of its feathers, which 

 are not seen iu the E. I. loriae. It appears to be a mistake to say that the 

 chest is olive-greenish and not cinereous blue, as it is not always bluish in 

 E. I. leucostictus.
