Wing 200 mm. (evident misprint for 100 mm.) ; tail

Through the kindness of the authorities of the U.S. 

 National jNIuseum, I have been able to examine the type of 

 this species. The m idth of the green pectoral shield, the 

 shape of the tail and middle rectrices, and the dark colour 

 of the forehead (which is as dark as in C. recjius cocci neifur mis), 

 are very striking characters, and it is a great pity that the 

 locality whence tiiis bird came is unknown. By some 

 curious mistake most of the measurements in the description 

 are wrong. The wing measures 102, and not 200, the tail 

 with the central feathers unrolled 167, and not 300, the 

 culinen 22, and the metatarsus 30 mm. 



Habitat. Unknown.

 bright orange-crimson, paler than in C. reyius ; chin and 

 upper parts of the throat orange-red, shading into dull 

 crimson with purple reflexions on the lower throat and fore- 

 neck ; in lacking all trace of the bufi'tips to the feathers of 

 the fore-neck, which in C. lyogyrns and C. regius form a 

 marked convex line dividing the dull crimson of the fore- 

 neck from the green of the upper breast ; and in having the 

 flank-feathers dark sooty brown glossed with coppery purple. 

 Jris dark brown ; bill yellow ; feet dark cobalt-blue.
