“Tris red, the bill blackish-grey, and the feet yellowish- 
brown.” (F. W. Hutton.) 
Sir W. L. Buller assured me that he had no doubt whatever 
that C. intermedius was, as suggested by me, nothing but the 
common form of C. auriceps, individuals of which differ a 
good deal in size.

“Similar to C. auriceps (Kuhl), but larger and with the 
crimson band in front of the yellow crown much narrower. 
The band of crimson in P. auriceps also reaches the eye, 
and in some specimens there is also a crimson patch behind 
the eye, while in my new species there is always a clear 
space between the crimson band and the eye.” (Roth- 
schild.)

Mr. Rothschild has omitted to give the dimensions of this 
new form, to which I have already alluded (Cat. B. xx. 
p. 589).
