206 NAKED-BILLED VINAGO. 



Head, neck, and all the under parts of the hody, 

 uniform yellowish-green, but the thighs are bright 

 yellow, and the flanks striped with that and olive- 

 green; base of the neck above, and part of the 

 interscapulars, delicate cinereous, which gradually 

 changes into a light greyish olive-green on the back, 

 scapulars, rump, upper tail-covers, and on those of 

 the wing-feathers which are nearest the body. The 

 shoulders are vinaceous red ; the greater and lesser 

 covers partly greyish-olive and partly blackish, and 

 both are distinctly margined with pale sulphur-yel- 

 low ; quills blackish, most of them margined in the 

 same way, but narrower. Tail above light cinereous, 

 with rather a darker shade in the middle, but on 

 their under surface the basal half is black and the 

 terminal half cinereous- white. Sides of the tail and 

 tips of the smaller under covers cream-coloured 

 white, but the larger covers are entirely rufous. Feet 

 pale, probably red. 



In another specimen, which is probably of the 

 other sex, there is no other difference but in size ; 

 the wing of one measuring 5 T 8 Q, and of the other 

 6 T %. The tarsus, in both these, is not feathered so 

 much as in the last species, fcr the feathers do not 

 reach within a quarter of an inch of the division of 

 the toes. 



Total length about 10 J inches ; bill, from the gape, 

 T 9 o, and from the front the same ; wings, 6^ ; tail, 

 from the base, 3| ; tarsus, T 7 5 .
