Mr. Rothschild states that he has lately received two living 
females of this species, said to have come from Hainan. The 
description of the female is still wanting.

Dr. Oustalet has not given a complete description of this 
species ; he says that the upper parts are coloured as in 
Paleornis derbyana, while the under parts are differently 
coloured, being less rosy and more purple, especially in the 
males ; the dimensions are smaller, total length 460 milli- 
metres instead of 510. 
Having seen specimens of this bird in the Paris Museum, 
I may add that the under wing-coverts are green in P. salva- 
dorii, while they are vinous in P. derbyana, approaching in 
that respect P. fasciata.
