[I discovered this fine Barbet at 5000 feet in high forest, 

 but it is, perhaps, more at home on the mountain at about 

 8000 feet. It has a hooting-note rather like that of the last 

 species. An immature bird is of a much less vivid green, and 

 has the blue on the throat and head duller and greener than 

 in the adults, and the golden collar is absent. The soft parts 

 were given in f The Ibis ' (/. c.) .]

[Met with on my first expedition at about 3000 feet, and 

 again during my second at the same altitude. This bird at 

 first sight bears a strong resemblance to the young of M. mysta- 

 cophanes, so much so that it has remained nearly two years 

 undescribed, though I had little doubt that it was a good 

 species, the bill being quite distinct from that of M. mysta- 

 cophanes, to say nothing of the colour. I was glad to find 

 that Mr. Sharpe, at last, took my view as to its distinctness.]
