* Total length 7^", wings 3^". Head and under part of the body 

 carmine ; the breast-feathers green at base, with some small streaks 

 of bright yellow ; crown and spot on the lower part of back pur- 

 plish black ; nape, back, wings, and base of tail -feathers green ; sides 

 of rump bright yellow ; thighs green, streaked with bright yellow ; 

 knees purplish black ; middle tail-feathers mostly carmine, with the 

 tips yellow ; lateral feathers green, with the inner web carmine and 

 the tips bright yellow. 



t Total length 10", wings 8^". Brownish black ; crown, margins 

 of the neck-feathers, a spot on the lower part of neck and another 

 at the lower part of breast, middle of abdomen, and the inner webs 

 of tail-feathers and quills, bright yellow, tinged with orange ; lower 

 part of back opaline white ; thighs blood-red ; greater wing-coverts, 

 outer margins of quills and tail-feathers green, the latter tinged 

 with yellow and blue in parts ; sides of body and upper tail-coverts 

 black ; under tail-coverts deep purplish blue. In another specimen 

 the orange-yellow is represented by blood-red or reddish-yellow, and 

 is probably that of the adult bird. The young bird differs from the 

 adults by the yellow being less prominent, while that on the inner 

 webs of the tail-feathers is partly spotted j the ends of the tail-feathers 

 are pointed, and the shafts also prolonged into very slender points : 

 the last-mentioned character rather induces the supposition that the 

 species named JEos scintillates is that of a young bird, and probably 

 the young of E. rubrifrons ?
