 of Part I. 



The specimen in Part I. referred to aarantiiventris, was in 

 poor condition, only a single tail feather remaining ; having 

 since received good examples of both sexes, also a young male, 

 I think it will establish te?iellus, above referred to, as a good 

 species. The young male agrees almost precisely with the 

 description given by Mr. Cabanis (the only plumage in which 

 it is described), even to the white mark on the hind part of the 

 eyelid ; this last character is in the adult female, but in three 

 adult male specimens it is not apparent. 



This species certainly much resembles T. at?'icollis, with 

 which Mr. Cabanis makes comparison, but the plumage of the 

 male is more golden above and the rump and upper tail coverts 

 dark green ; the most marked difference is in the color of the 

 tail, which is light green in atricollis, but in this of a dark 

 bluish green, in some lights decidedly blue ; the breast is bright 

 orange yellow, pale in the young bird as stated by Mr. Cabanis ; 

 the other markings are similar to those of atricollis. 



Length 9£ in. ; wing 4| ; tail 5L 



The brown color of the female is dull olivaceous not rufous, 

 and the two central tail feathers and the outer webs of the two 

 next on each side are deep cinnamon or chestnut brown, the 

 inner webs of the latter being black, the three outer feathers 

 are barred black and white, largely white at the ends. Mr. 

 Cabanis calls particular attention to Mr. Gould's description of 

 the female atricollis, as having the six middle tail feathers
