  green 
  back 
  by 
  a 
  narrow 
  band 
  of 
  bright 
  blue 
  continued 
  from 
  

   the 
  ear-coverts 
  ; 
  in 
  other 
  specimens 
  this 
  band 
  is 
  very 
  faint 
  

   or 
  obsolete. 
  There 
  is 
  also 
  a 
  faint 
  indication 
  of 
  a 
  yellow 
  or 
  

   green 
  band 
  between 
  the 
  scarlet 
  and 
  the 
  black 
  crown.

  Three 
  specimens 
  from 
  Leimumon, 
  6th 
  Dec. 
  They 
  agree 
  

   well 
  with 
  Mr. 
  Oates^s 
  careful 
  description 
  of 
  this 
  bird, 
  which 
  

   has 
  not 
  hitherto 
  been 
  discovered 
  in 
  any 
  part 
  of 
  China. 
  

   A 
  comparison 
  of 
  skins 
  does 
  not 
  show 
  any 
  difference 
  in 
  this 
  

   island 
  species.
