 alive on board till the 28th Oct., when it was killed and skinned, as 

 it proved a nuisance while alive. — J. M.~] 



Two specimens bought alive at Ternate, a " male " (No. 336) 

 green and a " female" (No. 361) red ; this one is very interesting, 

 having some green feathers among the scapularies. 



Both specimens are much smaller than the birds which I have 

 seen from Halmahera.
