Hab. Luzon, Guimaras (Meyer). 
In the adult plumage this species has the entire head, neck, and upper breast pale 
ashy white, the occiput and nape being faintly washed with light green. Bordering 
the grey of the breast and intervening between it and the ashy green of the lower 
parts is a broad dark purple band, rather deeper in the middle than at the sides. The 
under tail-coverts are cinnamon-colour. The under surface of the rectrices is slate- 
colour, with a broad terminal almost white band, which above appears yellow; the 
chin and throat and the space before the eye black; remainder of the upper plumage 
bright rich green, with a golden gloss in certain lights. From a Guimaras example, 
noted as a male by Dr. Meyer. 
Another male example from Luzon has the abdominal region of a still more ashy 
green, some of the ventral plumage being tawny. An individual from Guimaras, and 
noted a female, has the abdominal region deep green, and the dark purple pectoral 
band is represented by a large triangular patch of the same colour, a few purple 
feathers on each side only indicating the position of the band. The pale ashy white of 
the nape is more deeply tinged with green. Another Guimaras female (fide Meyer) 
has the head, nape, and breast green, the forehead alone being bluish grey; the 
abdomen is mixed tawny ashy green; on the breast is a limited purple triangular 
patch. This individual resembles very nearly the figure in ‘The Ibis’ (/. s. ¢.), only that 
in the plate by Jennens the purple patch is represented much too low down, and the 
under tail-coverts are not dark enough. It also agrees well with the description given 
by Professor Schlegel (J. c.).
