with vinous brown than in the other specimen. The yellow apical 

 spot on the external web of the wing-feathers is not confined to the 

 three last tertiaries, but is found also on all the secondaries.

This series, if the sex be in each case rightly given, would confirm 

 Meyer's assertion that the adult male and female are alike in 

 plumage. Examples a and b do not differ except that the latter is 

 less bright in colouring ; c resembles Salvadori's description of an 

 adult female, and d that of the young bird, the latter being without 

 the red uropygium. It is, however, most probable that the sex has 

 been wrongly determined by Mr. Bruijn's hunters in at least two 

 out of the four individuals.
